Readmill used a VendorID to unlock uploaded Adobe encrypted epubs without having access to a user's Adobe ID. Yes B&N's passhash method is a different variation than the "usual" Adobe Adept encryption, but it's still provided by Adobe.
But all that would still suggest that reading on approved devices probably wouldn't be affected--only that current DRM-removal procedures might fail upon downloading new files/purchases. |
Reading using previously approved apps is affected as well. Mantano can no longer be used to read a B&N book if your key is changed - how would you know what to enter when asked for the key?
