Do not confuse DRM with formats.

Formats are ePub, txt, prc, pdf, etc.

where as B&N and Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) apply two different Digital Rights Management (DRM) methods that are encoded into the purchased ePub/PDF document.

jetBook and jetBook-Lite can handle both DRM's while the Aluratek Libre Pro can handle only the ADE DRM at this time.

I live in Canada and even though my jetBook can handle the B&N DRM, B&N does not sell here.

On another note, I remove DRM from my purchases. As these books are digital I can horde them and may be re-read them in the future but there is no guaranty that the DRM will work in the future. It has happened in the past that people have lost access due to technical improvements.
