And the rest of the pages are blank except for the footer with the page number and alternating author/title. Then the "About the Authors" on page 226 appears just fine and the last 2 pages after that which are really just a solid color page and the back cover. I haven't tried it on a newly downloaded book with the new encryption.
*Edit: Actually the footers as well are completely gone starting with page 96, so it's totally blank pages until 226. And opening it in ADE turns out to be a pain, every time you open the book you need to re-enter the name and cc number, even if you close the book but not ADE you need to re-enter the info.
When I originally posted at Alf's about it, they said they haven't been able to remove the DRM from those PagePerfect books and it sounded like they really have tried in the past.

Hmmm, I thought I only had to enter the cc information once with ADE 2.0, but it could very well be that I never tried more than once. It was a while ago.
Well, I guess the fact that they don't all display properly in Nook for PC explains why it doesn't let you download them in that program. The one that I own is all just scanned images so the whole book looks fine.
I would understand the eTextbooks from Nookstudy not being possible to decrypt since they had an additional limit of only being able to download two copies. But since it is possible to decrypt regular Adobe DRM PDFs, I would think B&N's version would be possible too. But admittedly I really don't know anything about how the tools do their magic!
