I think that depends on the particular book. If it's a legacy Fictionwise title in eReader format, anything eReader runs on. If it's an ePub volume not protected by DRM, anything that displays ePub. If it's a Barnes and Noble ebook in ePub format with DRM, you may be limited to the Nook, unless they upgrade their eReader application to handle ePub and Adobe DRM. That was not announced, but it would not surprise me if it were done. They are touting their widespread device support, and mentioned support for things like reading a book on the Nook and the iPhone, maintaining your bookmarks and annotations.
