As Sweatpea said--you enter the CC# when you first open the book, either on your computer or mobile device. After that, the book can be read on that device without trouble (unless maybe it's uninstalled & reinstalled? I haven't experimented much with secure eReader files.)
Since eRreader was designed for PDAs, this works fine. But no dedicated ebook readers use the eReader format, possibly because the unlock mechanism doesn't go well with the firmware. It's basically "enter password to open book," with your CC# as the password.
I wish some of the eInk readers would attach the software for unencrypted eReader .pdb files, though. I have plenty of those that I'd like to avoid re-converting to new formats.
