[Propheous]

I was reading another thread and thinking about what I posted there and I came to the conclusion that we might be thinking of the nook in terms of the kindle too much. This being related specifically to what the accounts on B&N do.

You do not need an account to use a Nook.
You do not need to log into your account to read your book loaded on the nook.
You can log into multiple nooks with the same account.

As I understand it and according to the nook user guide. You can read your book on the device by entering the DRM password which is the credit card number you used to purchase the book.

What does the account do?

It allows you to use the store and purchase materials. It also allows you to share your information across many devices including but not limited to notes, highlights, page position, and purchased books. Also you don't need to enter your DRM password if your logged into your account.

DRM on books?

As I understand it each book needs the password entered into the nook once to unlock it forever on that device. In fact you may not need to enter it for each book but just once for the device.

Any thing to add or correct?
