Hi Peter,
I did a quick google for 'acsm linux' and the consensus seems to be,
sadly, that the ACSM file ( the clue is in the name: Adobe Content
Server Manager ) just acts as a download controller for the obtaining
of the file by the local Adobe Digital Editions. It seems there's not
a way to 'spoof' the Adobe server side that you're not making the
download from a certified Adobe Digital Editions copy.
Nearest compromise seems to be using ADE under Wine:

that's not ideal :(
Really, the world needs the ebook equivalent of 'get_iplayer'!

And a comment from another forum that I came across:
"It downloads from the "content server", bound or agreed It doesn't
really matter - writing something to "download" from their server
without permission is similar to breaking in and stealing data.
Certainly I don't agree with it, If you wish to write a program like
this I'm not stopping you, I am just displaying information that might
be relevant."
So the legality of doing anything is suspect.
