Thanks mbovenka and dwig for your responses.

A couple more fine-tuned questions, if I may?

Out of the many epubs I'd like to be able to read on the proposed Kindle Paperwhite are a number purchased through Barnes & Noble. These are the ones I was most curious about being able to view and read on a different device.

First, should I presume that prior B&N epub purchases contain any technologies designed to limit their use? May I expect to be able to blithely convert these to a readable Amazon format using Calibre or would they require third-party assistance to remove any existing proprietary restrictions prior to said conversion?

All I'm after is to be able to retain and read volumes previously and legally purchased for one device on another.
