I ran a test of my Sony 3.1 software to see if it could open a DRM protected BN ePub book. I had purchased "Every Man Dies Alone" from BN first as a sample and then paid the full price for the book.

Both files were ePub. The first sample file was able to be imported into Sony 3.1 AND read - it was not DRM protected. The second file was able to be imported into Sony 3.1 but it could not be read. It sent a message, "not available for this computer." I deleted it from my Sony 3.1 Library and will just have to read it with my BN Desktop reader. Deleteing from the Sony Library did NOT delete the file from the disk even though it warned it would do so.

That's too bad since I was hoping that BN and Sony would share access to their books.
