A major issue is that it's not just reading the file, it's that ADE is
needed to even authorize and fulfill the download. Then the possibility of
DRM on top of that.

While I've never tried it, it's my understanding that you can use calibre to 
remove the drm encryption on a purchased ebook so you can read it with 
something like fbreader (which, as far as I know, can't read a drm-encrusted 
ebook).

Calibre is also available as an appimage.

Ok. So, I kept searching, and found, on the centosfaq, someone a couple years ago announcing a 32 wine library for C 7. I installed that... and using WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32, I could finally run their setup.

Great. !.something, while Adobe has 3, 4.5 and 4.8

Now, I can run the ADE... except I don't remember my password from years ago, and both the "forgot Adobe ID *and* the "forgot password" goes to and Adobe 404 page.

I have notified ebooks.com of their need to update the Linux page....
