Thomas Nelson's editions seem to come only in two options: The MacArthur Study Bible (I already own this in NKJV) and the Charles F. Stanley Life Principles Bible (not keen on Charles Stanley's theology so I'll skip this one). As you noted, I can't seem to find the NASB in epub; I may have to overlook my aversion to the formatting and just pick one up from Amazon.
I had to check myself for the NASB in ePub; I just couldn't believe that it wasn't available in that format. I checked Christianbook.com, which I felt that if anyone had it, it would be them, with their enormous inventory. Nope, not available.

Now I'm wondering why. I personally like the NASB and use it almost exclusively for reading, studying, et al. I think that it is a popular version; I think that I heard several years ago that Billy Graham recommended it. Maybe it has to do with the Lockman Foundation and licensing issues. I hope that this is not a bad "omen" concerning the future of the NASB.

I guess the reason that I hadn't noticed before now is that I often use Bible programs to do my reading and the NASB is commonly available among them. Of course, I keep a legacy paper & leather copy for various reasons.

You implied that it is available at Amazon. If it is not DRM protected (I don't know much about this, so I'm "winging it"), I think that you can use a free program called Calibre to convert it to ePub (and other formats, for that matter). But, I have a feeling (a sixth sense?) that all of the newer, in copyright versions are going to be DRM protected.

Good "luck."
