It is supported on the JetBook and JetBook Lite. And more, as other ebook readers update their firmware.

But they ARE avaialble for any platform, so long as that platform uses the more recent ADE software.
In addition, like Kindle, there are BN-Reader apps for most devices.
And truthfully, if there is going to be DRM on ebooks, I would MUCH rather BN-ePub than Adept. With BN, I can open my book anywhere, on any device that runs ADE or BN software, without getting Adobe's approval first. I don't need to 'authorize' the device or book because the authorization is tied to my credit card, and not to Adobe's computer banks.
If I want to read my ebook on a new reader, years from now, I would need to re-authorize Adept books for the new reader. For BN, I just have to type in the credit card number.
I dislike DRM, but if it is going to be there, I would rather it be under my control than Amazon's or Adobes.
