Install Adobe Digital Editions In Ubuntu Linux
So you can read ebooks easier
Libraries have been around for quite some time. One of the nice things about living in the digital age, however, is being able to check out books from the library in digital form. Ebooks, in other words. In order to take advantage of this, a computer user needs to have a library card, access to the Internet, and Adobe Digital Editions, the software used to download the book. You can then use this software to read the book on your computer, or transfer it to your ebook device.
Unfortunately for Linux users, Adobe has not created a version of Adobe Digital Editions that runs natively on Linux. Fortunately for Linux users, Wine exists (a framework that allows many Windows programs to run in Linux without emulation), and as it turns out, installing Adobe Digital Editions and getting it up and running isn’t too difficult. Here’s how to do it in Ubuntu.
The first step will be to open up your Terminal.
Now, type sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa which will add the Ubuntu Wine PPA to your list of software sources. Next, type sudo apt-get update to update your lists and make the software in that repository available to install.
Finally, type sudo apt-get install wine1.3 wine1.3-gecko which will install the latest 1.3 beta and its Gecko web rendering support.
Note: you’ll also notice a few other libraries being installed, including some new fonts and a program to deal with CAB files in Windows.
Once you have Wine installed, head over to the Adobe Digital Editions website. Here we’ll find the direct link to the Windows installer.
Once downloaded, right-click and use the Wine Windows Program Loader to begin the installation process.
The process is very simple; just select which options you want and click Next.
Once you’ve installed Adobe Digital Editions, launch it from your Application menu, keyboard launcher, Dash, or however you choose. You’ll first be asked to authorize your computer, which will be necessary to check books out from an online library.
Next, head to your library’s ebook website and check out a book, or download one you’ve already checked out.
What you’ll actually download through your web browser is a file that tells Adobe Digital Editions the location of the ebook to download. Once Adobe Digital Editions starts up, you’ll see the actual ebook being downloaded.
You can now read your book on your computer.
As said at the top, it’s unfortunate that Adobe hasn’t created a native Linux version of Adobe Digital Editions. When considering how well it runs in Wine, it would seem that a native Linux version wouldn’t be too difficult to accomplish. Still, because of how simple the installation process is, maybe it doesn’t matter all that much. Thanks to the ease of installation, it really is quite simple to start reading library ebooks on your Linux computer.

2. When you open WineTricks you’ll see a menu asking «what do you want to do?», you need to select the ‘install an app’ option. In the next screen select Adobe Digital Editions — 2011. Then just install Digital Editions as before; which is easier if you have your Adobe ID to hand.
3. Leave Digital Editions open. Then open Firefox and find and click a download link for an epub encumbered by Digital Editions.
4. In the download dialogue box select «Download with Digital Editions» and check the «Do this automatically. » option.
5. Install Calibre from the software centre or from the Calibre website. It’s better to install the current version from the website.
6. Open Calibre. Use the big + button in Calibre to import the e-book from your My Digital Editions folder to your Calibre library. After connecting your e-reader to your PC by USB you use the ‘Send to device’ button to copy the e-book to your e-reader. I know this is a bit of a bother, but it’s necessary as it’s impossible or difficult to get the wine version of Digital Editions to recognise the e-reader.
7. Optional: install cuttlefish and instruct it to open Calibre when you connect your e-reader to the PC via USB.
Hope this helps. Happy to suggest other options if you get stuck.

Установите Adobe Digital Editions в Ubuntu Linux
Библиотеки существуют уже довольно давно. Однако одна из приятных сторон жизни в цифровую эпоху — возможность получать книги из библиотеки в цифровом виде. Ebooks, другими словами. Чтобы воспользоваться этим, пользователю компьютера необходимо иметь библиотечную карточку, доступ к Интернету и Adobe Digital Editions, программное обеспечение, используемое для загрузки книги. Затем вы можете использовать это программное обеспечение, чтобы прочитать книгу на своем компьютере или перенести ее на свое электронное устройство.
К сожалению для пользователей Linux, Adobe не создала версию Adobe Digital Editions, которая изначально работает в Linux. К счастью для пользователей Linux, Wine существует (платформа, которая позволяет многим программам Windows запускаться в Linux без эмуляции), и, как выясняется, установка Adobe Digital Editions и ее запуск и запуск не слишком сложны. Вот как это сделать в Ubuntu.
Первым шагом будет открытие вашего терминала.
Теперь введите sudo apt-add-repository ppa: ubuntu-wine / ppa, который добавит Ubuntu Wine PPA в список источников программного обеспечения. Затем введите sudo apt-get update, чтобы обновить свои списки и сделать доступным для установки программное обеспечение в этом хранилище.
Наконец, введите sudo apt-get install wine1.3 wine1.3-gecko, которая установит последнюю версию 1.3 beta и поддержку веб-рендеринга Gecko.
Примечание: вы также заметите, что устанавливается несколько других библиотек, включая некоторые новые шрифты и программу для работы с CAB-файлами в Windows.
После установки Wine перейдите в Adobe Digital Editions. Веб-сайт, Здесь мы найдем прямую ссылку на установщик Windows.
После загрузки щелкните правой кнопкой мыши и используйте загрузчик программ Wine Windows, чтобы начать процесс установки.
Процесс очень прост; просто выберите нужные параметры и нажмите «Далее».
После того, как вы установили Adobe Digital Editions, запустите его из меню приложений, клавиатуры, Dash или по своему усмотрению. Сначала вас попросят авторизовать ваш компьютер, что необходимо для проверки книг в онлайн-библиотеке.
Затем перейдите на сайт электронной книги своей библиотеки и закажите книгу или скачайте книгу, которую вы уже проверили.
На самом деле вы загружаете через свой веб-браузер файл, который сообщает Adobe Digital Editions местоположение книги для загрузки. После запуска Adobe Digital Editions вы увидите загружаемую книгу.
Теперь вы можете читать свою книгу на своем компьютере.
Как сказано выше, к сожалению, Adobe не создала собственную версию Adobe Digital Editions для Linux. При рассмотрении того, насколько хорошо он работает в Wine, может показаться, что нативная версия Linux не будет слишком сложной для выполнения. Тем не менее, из-за того, насколько прост процесс установки, возможно, это не имеет большого значения. Благодаря простоте установки, действительно легко начать читать электронные книги на вашем компьютере с Linux.

Using Adobe Digital Editions under Linux
A while ago Markus convinced me to finally get an e-book reader for traveling. And for a while I obsessed about getting epub files for it.
One of my sources was the City of Sydney library which provides epubs for downloads for certain periods of time. To ensure that books expire after the rental period, they use Adobe DRM or .acsm files (Adobe Content Server Message File).
To open one of those .acsm files you need to have Adobe Digital Editions installed on your pc or laptop. That in itself would not be such a big deal, if they would also provide a Linux version of the app. Not wanting to switch OS every time I borrow a book, I searched for options on how to open .acsm files under Linux.
Here is one solution that works for me know:
- Install wine and mono (if you don’t already have it)
- Find a version of the ADE 1.7.2 installer. You will need to google for it. This is the only version that seems to work under wine (or at least the only one I could get to work).
- Install ADE using wine: wine ADE_1.7_Installer.exe
- Run ADE (from installation dir): wine digitaleditions.exe
- Then download the .acsm file
- Drag it from a file browser into the open ADE window. This should trigger the download of the epub file.
- Find the epub file in something like .wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/USER/Documents/My Digital Editions/
Now you can upload the epub file into your e-reader. It will keep the DRM in the process and expire loaned books from the library after the specified loan period.
