The procedure then is:
option a) In a Windows computer install ADE, and match your reader to ADE (authorize it). Then on that Windows computer click on the link to "download" the epub which should offer to download with ADE. Do it. Verify that you can read the ebook inside ADE. ADE should be able to put the epub on the ereader, if it supports DRM.
Install Calibre with the plugin, and then open the epub - somehow, the plugin finds the key somewhere in ADE. Save the epub. Use Calibre to read the epub directly, or store it on the ereader, this time without protection.
option b) In a Windows computer install ADE. Then on that Windows computer click on the link to "download" the epub which should offer to download with ADE. Do it. Verify that you can read the ebook inside ADE.

option c) Install ADE and calibre in the ipad or Android machine. Install the plugin. Download the epub from its link, which should trigger download with ADE. You should be able to read the epub inside ADE. Then use calibre to open the same file and save elsewhere. Hopefully it is decrypted and you can copy over to your reader device.
I have not tested C, it is an assumption.
Isn't it amazing, having to go through all of this just to get a real copy of a free book? This is a case of an industry that still thinks that all Linux users are pirates. The vendor of my favourite 3D Modeling package is the same; their software runs only on Windoze and Mac (though they do allow their background rendering to run on Linux, otherwise nobody in the 3D industry would use it).
