You can just copy a book with B&N's DRM to an unlimited number of supported devices. If you open the book it will ask for the credit card number and name the book was encrypted with. Anyone who knows this information (the social part of the DRM) can open the book. The key generated by this information will be stored on the device, and other books encrypted with the same information will open immediately.
Oh wow, that's FANTASTIC news! Thanks!

Okay, so Sony's works differently though? Has activation?

I'd really like to support the Nook then as like I said, I'm really anti-activation.

Maybe I'll pop over to the Nook section and see if I can hash out which model to get (since I'd really prefer eInk...but want eInk pearly.)
