B&N would seem to be a natural place to get them from, but it never occurred to me they have/had them. Of course if they were using the OD setup like audiobookstanddl uses (WMA DRM for DRM'd stuff) I wouldn't likely have bought anyway.


I don't think most people know they sell digital movies either. They've had that set up for a while now and it took them forever (long after it was promised) to finally get an app out so folks could watch on their non-nook devices. Even among enthusiasts it's not very well known.
Everything I had seen through B&N was DRM-free. As a matter of fact, the only one of the sellers I know who did WMVs was AudiobookstandDl. Everyone else (that I've found to date) was DRM-free.

I have to admit, the movies bit was news to me. I'll have to look into that.
