If B&N will support Sony e-readers they might sell a nook to me. I would like to get my wife one but not if we cant share books.

AFAIK, you won't be able to put B&N ePubs on the Sony unless Sony updates the firmware to support B&N's DRM scheme. So you'd be able to share books if you don't buy them at B&N. |

Is this correct? I was under the impression that the nook will support the current Adobe ADE (which Sony supports and isconverting all its books to) as well as its own eReader DRM wrapper. If true, then wouldn't Sony ePub books be readable on the nook? (I agree that until the conversion to ePub by Sony, the current Sony BBeB books would not be readable, but Sony has said all of its books will be converted and readers will be able to redownload purchased books in the ePub format.)

Eventually there will be an update to Adobe's SDK that will allow other readers to read B&N books, if they update their version. |
