Also, the so-called format war isn't; it's a DRM war.
It's not Amazon vs the world as the epub fans like to pretend.
To all practical effect there are five camps:
- Amazon
- Apple
- B&N
- Adobe
- DRM-free anything.
The first four players *all* seek to lock-in customers to *their* walled gardens. The only difference between them is that Amazon is *today* more successful than all the others combined. Adobe is no more an angel than Amazon is a devil.

Both Nook and Nook Color also support ePub with Adobe DRM. So you can buy DRM books not only from B&N but from almost every bookstore except Amazon and iBooks. Unlike the Kindle there is no lock-in to a walled garden for DRM books.
And unlike Amazon who licenses its Kindle DRM to no-one, B&N has licensed its DRM to Adobe, and anyone using the latest Adobe software can offer support for the B&N DRM. Pandigital and several software ePub readers already do.
