I think Windows 8 RT falls between three stools at the moment.

1. Full Windows 8 will run ADE exactly as earlier editions of Windows did;
   so act as a 'host'  (my own terminology) for managing eBook downloads etc
   
   
2. 'Normal' tablets (android, iPad) have apps such as Bluefire to read DRM ebooks,
   and then files can be copied from a host PC.
   Also extra specific apps for Overdrive library books etc.
   
   
3. Dedicated ebook readers act as 'clients' and can have files pushed to them from ADE on a 'host' PC.
   This will work for several different book sources to ADE, as long as they use Adobe DRM.

There seem to be various specific apps for Windows 8 RT that will download and read eBooks (as in 2a above);

for Overdrive (library books), Kindle, Barnes and Noble, etc

(try a google search for 'windows 8 rt ebook'),

but I can't see any generic ones such as Bluefire.
