I was just pointing out that once Adobe's got updates pushed out it shouldn't be a situation where people are stuck with ePubs that can only be used on a nook or B&N's apps.
We had a solution to the problem of the tower of e-Bable. Now B&N once again makes the tower of e-Bable a problem once again. We had a perfectly good workable solution with ePub and it's DRM. Now B&N steps in and creates a new DRM to rock the boat and muddy the waters and give us no ends of grief. Plus, give the fact that I cannot liberate ePub with this new DRM, II won't be buying anything with that DRM. I'm hoping other eBook shops won't take this new DRm on board. But if they do, I do hope all the ePub they offer will be available in both DRM schemes so we can pick the one we want (the one we can liberate).
