No ADE installed in a few minutes (Karmic 32 bit)
I dragged a MyEZreads book I bought into it and it worked.

THE USB to PEZ does not work (needed to authorize PEz), but you can drag and drop the file outside of ADE to a authorized device with Linux or read on the Linux system with ADE.



DRM does not Guarantee that the Authors get paid, only the Distributor I know a few authors.
Their statements give no clue to if they are actually getting paid the proper amount The accounting is being done by the Fox
