Not at the present time that I know of. Adobe seems to have a stranglehold on the DRM EPUB business. In fact, the ADEPT DRM method seems to be designed to ensure that stranglehold.

Not at this time. All you get from an eBook vendor is a "receipt" file that ADE will use for you to download the actual book.
