Running Adobe Digital Editions on Void Linux

Motivation

I'm an avid reader with a lot of ebooks, some of them protected by Adobe DRM. While I do not particularly like copy protection, there are excellent books out there that are not otherwise (legally) available. Also, I do see the point that authors have a justified desire to protect their works against illegal copies. It is not their fault that DRM companies seem to ignore alternative operating systems (also here, I do get that it is difficult to justify huge efforts to cater to a relatively small group of people - but belonging to that small group, I still find it somewhat annoying). end of rant :)
