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?

Read my previous post carefully before replying back. Read it carefully. I said, the Nook Color device is locked, yes it is. The Android operating system has been locked so out of the box you do not have access to all the features and whistles Android operating system can provide. It was locked not to give you a better experience but to avoid being used it as a tablet, which ultimately is what that device is, a tablet. With Android locked and most menus designed around Barnes and Noble store, people's initial and 1st choice would be buying from Barnes and Noble online bookstore, same like Kindle 3 users download and read from Amazon online bookstore. It is a marketing strategy.
Of course you can you can read not DRM protected epub books using Nook Color, you can basically do the same with Kindle 3 via Calibre.
