I'm a little disappointed in the news that B&N has no immediate plans to make their ebooks compadable on the Sony Reader. I see them as a book store who would want to sell as many books as possible and thus providing formats that would support a variety of electronic readers. This would open up more options for people who want to purchase ebooks.
I have a question regarding their ebook services. Can I download a local copy to keep as a back-up on my computer or are books that I would purchase only kept on their servers? The reason I'm asking is because I like having a copy of the digital version for myself in case the servers were ever to go down or they decide to shut down the ebook library.
I don't own a Kindle but I believe Amazon uploads directly onto the device, ie. the Kindle or Ipod and there is no easy way to make backups of those files to your computer. Does B&N work the sameway?
