That means that books purchased from Kobo or Barnes & Noble can be used with any EPUB-compatible device, similar to how MP3 music files can be played on any digital music device.
Anyway, this problem has made me very fond of cabbages. Now I can read the book on everything, Calibre, Digital Editions, Sony Etc.
Can you point me to this news release? I can find the exact same quote from a recent article introducing Kobo but cannot find where it comes from B&N.
