eBooks — Works with the eReader you already own
And if you take "eReader" to mean electronic reader, then it's even more unclear. I have a 505 that supports ADE/ePub. So if I didn't know, I might buy if the sample was ePub.

Face it, B&N is not telling the customers what they need to know. And they are mixing up the word eReader and causing no end of confusion.
