B&N also uses its PDB ereader DRM sometimes called secure reader on some merchants. the ereader pdb format was supported by the nook but not the nook color

here is B&N's color nook spec's http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nookco...?cds2Pid=35607 as you see it says epub non drm as well as adobe's drm ADE

most everything you buy from B&N will have drm on it the free books wont.

hope that helps you out better
