Lots of people care deeply whether a product is DRM-enabled and will also refuse to purchase if they know, beforehand, that it's DRM-enabled. It can be effective to leave scathing reviews based entirely on the fact that the product is DRM enabled. If, like me, you hate-hate-hate being tied to a single piece of software for reading, the absolute best thing to do is vote with your wallet and not buy DRM-enabled publications. Some publishers, like me, refuse to sell at storefronts who either do not allow us to turn off DRM or otherwise restrict the purchaser's choice in what application to read their books (Barnes & Noble Nook!!! Aaargh! ***holes.) Some of them will even take the time to go to the store you purchased your publication from and turn off DRM in the back-end. Many of them will respond with a friendly note with a nonDRM file attached. You may, also, try emailing the publisher with an attached sales receipt and explain you cannot read their product because they have effectively locked you out by enabling DRM in the storefront. The most reliable methods all rely on having a working version of ADE installed on your system, though, so it's also kind of pointless.

Every time Adobe makes even the most minor change to ADE, this breaks, so never ever upgrade your version of ADE if you get it working in WINE. That said, many people have successfully installed Digital Editions on Linux in the WINE environment. To my knowledge, and I've been searching for years, you cannot lawfully read a digital rights managed epub on Linux with a native Linux application.
