Adobe Digital Editions

What works

- installing latest version from Adobe (4.5.10)

- authorizing the computer

- opening directly in ADE an acsm file downloaded from my library
website, for ADE to download automatically the corresponding ebook

- connecting an ebook reader to ADE

- authorizing the ebook reader with ADE

- transfering the ebook from ADE to the reader

What does not

I used existing workarounds from previous versions, but skipping some steps, for the following:

Workarounds

Installation:

- I used a clean Wine prefix, but I didn't make it 32 bit.
- I installed winbind using the package manager (Synaptic)

- I used the latest 4.5.10 version from Adobe worked
- I used winetricks: 

winetricks corefonts dotnet40

- Then I started the Adobe installer normally.

Connecting an ereader:

mount the reader

run winecfg
in drives, click on the drive corresponding to the mounted reader, then show details for this drive> 
setup the drive as "floppy disk"
apply (I left this window open)
launch ADE
the reader should show up
