It is a royal pain in the butt, besides being bloated, slow and crashy.
You can trick ADE to install on Linux under Wine.

That said. ADE could not see my PEz (to Authorize it) .
Adobe 'Free' books sit detects Linux and the Download buttons become System Requirements , preventing even a test run.

The one EPUB file I purchased and was able to download from MyEZread opened fine after I Authorized my Linux PC

As to Bloated, Slow?
On My P4 3.4GHz w 1G RAM Windows XP machine

The system was USELESS until ADE got through (15 Minutes, without any feedback. I thought it had crashed.) cataloging the 750 titles on my PEz (4 times as slow as Calibre takes and 10 times the Resource hog. At least with Calibre, I can use my system.)
