Was I just unlucky in my pick of retailer that required flash alongside ADE?

In the UK, I usually use WHSmith but Foyles is sometimes the only source for an ebook and I found their in-line ADE frustrating to use even from Windows XP. So far as I know they are the only ebook store to use it, so yes you did get unlucky. WHSmith has many more ebooks than Foyles by the way.
Did you try accessing your eBookshelf at Foyles from Linux (e.g. using FireFox)? With most stores this will download an .ascm file which you can import into ADE off-line. I don't know if this will work at Foyles though.
