To use Adobe Adept DRMed ePub, you
must install
Adobe Digital Editions. You have to register this with an Adobe ID (easiest to use you email address, if it's a stable email address). You also register your devices with the installed copy of Adobe Digital Editions. You can use the same ID on more than one installation of Adobe Digital Editions, and register more than one device. I think there's a combined limit of six devices and installations per ID, so you should be fine.
So - at fictionwise you'll buy a DRMed ePub. When you download, it won't download the book, but a small file that needs to be opened with Adobe Digital Editions. This will then download the ePub, encrypted with your Adobe ID. This book can then be transferred to your devices (or read on your computer(s) of course).
Personally, I strip all DRM from books I buy, to avoid just this sort of hassle, now and in the future.
