It wouldn't do B&N any good to get rid of the epubs... the ereader pdb's were cracked a long time ago.

I'll withhold discussing it so I won't get Mobileread into any trouble, but a Google search should provide links and answers to the curious.
Off-topic:
I listened to the audio version of Jerry Coyne's book while raking leaves last Fall, and I loved it. It was a great (and refreshing) followup to the Kansas Evolution Hearings of 2005 (which are also on Audible.com). I saw your review of the book on your blog but haven't had a chance to read it yet.
Okay, I'm going way off-topic into a volatile subject... I'll behave.
