I was looking for a book (The Sight by David Clement-Davies) in eBook format, and was frustrated by failure when browsing through the iBooks store. I found the paperback on the Kindle store, but no eBook. Finally I found a digital copy in the Barnes & Noble store.

The odd thing is... from what I understand the B&N eBooks are encrypted somehow, I'm still not sure what format they use. They say all you need to do to read them on non-NOOK device is to download the NOOK App. I tried that from Apple's App Store, and when I try to download it I just get an error message. Has anyone else run into this problem?

And does anyone know what format B&N's eBooks are in? I own caliber, so if it's in one of the many formats that can be converted I'd be ok with buying. But if it's encrypted somehow...

EDIT:
The exact error message I get is "Your request could not be completed."
