Ok, I just got my wife's Lite in, with v0.14i firmware loaded, and it wouldn't read a Barnes & Nobel book that I had bought last week. I called into support, and I was told that I have to load DRM'ed books via MobiReader. No problem, I loaded MobiReader, but it won't import my DRM'ed B&N book. Again, no problem, pulled a book down that will work in the MR, verified that it was drm'ed and readable on MR correctly. Tried to transfer it over to the Lite and it tells me that it's an Incompatible Compression Method. Ok, I'll call back to Ectaco, and they tell me I need a new version of firmware to support protected ePub & prc files, and they are in the process of sending me the information to my email (I have no problem with that, nor with flashing the device).

Now my question is, is anybody out there using their Lite to read books purchased from B&N (epubs with their DRM on them), and what's the procedure you're using?
