I am not confusing anyone.

The true is that the advantage is on books which has been formatted (epub or whatever other format) without DRM protection. If you buy from Barnes and Noble, you cannot read your books in any other place unless you break the encryption, which put those books at same condition that any other azw format or Kindle book.

Whatever comes or is in epub, without DRM encryption, can be read in a Kindle via Calibre conversion! It takes 60 seconds to do it!

Wow Joe your first sentence is not only flat out false, it might be bordering on lying. If actually did own the nook color then it would be flat out lying.

How can you honestly say that Barnes and Noble locks you in to only buying from their bookstore? You know that's not true.

I bought 3 books from Google just to give it a test run.

You claim you have owned them in the past, how can you make that claim?

I seriously would like to know.

You know just as well as I do people can purchase books from anywhere that sells epub and the Nook and the nook color supports Adobe Digital.

Loving the fact my wife subscribes to Kobo books, was loving the 30% off coupons they were running throughout December.

You are implying and misleading People into thinking the Nook only allows their own books to be read on it.

Why would you makes such a claim?

First you make a claim that ALL USA On line bookstores use their OWN DRM - False

You then make a claim that the nook color is locked into only buying books from the BN bookstore --- False

You claim you are running Honeycomb on your phone --- False (though I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you just got your software versions mixed up)

But damn Joe All the False information you are purposley spreading. why? I'm sure you are passionate about your Kindle, but to resort to these type of tatics?

and oh IanDX had question for you,the post just above your last, that I would be interested in hearing your answer.
