There are currently no DRMed ebook readers for Desktop Linux (even though most E-Ink Readers are running Linux). The Windows version of the eReader Reader is reported to work under Wine, as is Kindle for PC. The Windows MobiPocket Reader works to some extent under Wine. I don't know if Adobe Digital Editions and MS Reader works with Wine.
I suggest using FBReader or Calibre's ebook Viewer, which only work with DRM-free ebooks. So you need to strip the DRM (this is probably legal if you do it on ebooks you bought for your own use). Under Linux, the easiest DRM to strip is eReader (ereader2html.py) or MOBI (mobidedrm.py). For MOBI you need a PID, but this can be from any Windows PC (including Wine) running Desktop MobiPocket Reader. Once you have the PID there is no need to use the Windows PC again.
It is possible to strip the DRM from Secure PDF, and then use any PDF Reader. However, I don't know how easy the ineptpdf.pyw script is to use under Linux. You also need a Windows PC or a Mac to download a Secure PDF (within Desktop Adobe Digital Editions). MS Reader's LIT files can only be downloaded on a Windows PC.
