Thanks! Perhaps things will go okay with my Nook after all.
But this whole DRM situation is still maddening. I have a techno-phobic friend who finally decided to try ebooks and bought a Sony T2 last summer. While one would hope Sony will update the software on their latest reader (T3), I wouldn't count on it. And I'm highly doubtful that they will bother updating older models, like my friend's less-than-year-old T2, the T1 and PRS series, etc. Plus Sony has pulled their devices and bookstore out of the U.S. market, leaving my friend reliant on 3rd-party booksellers, like Kobo and Google Books.
Once booksellers and libraries start adopting this "hardened Adobe DRM," my friend won't be able to read any new books. And this is an ereader that's less than a year old and supposedly had the advantage of not being locked in to a single bookseller. Instead, she may soon be locked out of all booksellers and libraries. Does Adobe realize this is what's happening on the consumer end? Perhaps this new DRM will make the publishers happy, but it's a nightmare for the end-user -- i.e., the people who are just trying to read books.
