I did try it. It works.
See, Barnes and Noble bought ereader.com (was Palm Press, which was Peanut Press -- from whom I bought my very first ebooks). Peanut Press set up a very good DRM -- in that they are encoded with your name and credit card number you use to buy them with (and you can later update that CC info and redownload them encrypted anew). So you can share them with anyone you are comfortable giving that info to, or with someone whom you can be there in person to authenticate it for the first time. Info is not retrievable from the encrypted book itself. Very good if you ask me and one of the best DRM schemes out there. I still have access to my Peanut Press books to this day.
But what is a bummer is that all those old Peanut Press books are accessible on the Nook Classic, or were when I first tried (they are pdb files, not the newer epub), but not on the Nook Color via the BN app or via Aldiko (even though the DRM method is the same). There is an android ereader.com app that will open them. But it would be way cool to have it all integrated in Aldiko.
