Thanks! I poked around Google Books. Is it safe to assume everything is available as an ADE-compatible epub as long as it says "best for: ereader" and "features: flowing text"? Anything else I need to know? As DiapDealer pointed out, seems we need a "freaking pre-buy checklist for each store" nowadays.
