Hey, everybody knows that linux users are hackers! And they'll only want to try to hack the DRM...

And It think this is good news for everybody that doesn't want the Sony software as they don't need it (except for Google)

Khalleron - Right again. I need only type the author's name on my Nook search and up they come, everything he or she has written. A catalogue would be as useful as an old-fashioned NYC phone book with all five boroughs

BTW, no need to actually buy a nook. The app is free, as most of you know already.
