If I transfer the book onto the reader, can I keep the original copy on the card, thus having two copies of the book?

If I download the book from the website onto the reader itself, is it easy to transfer it to a card?

It appears to me that the purpose of the card(s) is for long-term storage. Any other reason? Of course, with cards one has infinite storage capability.
There isn't a way to transfer the ebook between SD and internal memory on the device itself. Since the Pro has USB 2, and most ebooks are not very large, transferring via USB from a desktop computer should be quick enough. Note that you get both the SD card and the internal memory exported to the desktop.

With Adobe DRMed ebooks, you must first download to a desktop Adobe Digital Editions and that desktop counts as one of your allowed 6 devices.

With all the current DRM schemes, there is no limit on how many copies of an ebook you can have. The limit is on the devices that can read the ebook.
