The answer is no. My library (WI Public Library Consortium) also has Adobe Digital Editions epubs with DRM. The JBL doesn't read these, only ereader DRM, which is the PDB format. I remember reading back in December that Adobe just released the specs for their epub format so that other manufacturers could implement the unlock for it on their devices. I emailed ectaco tech support to ask if they would be doing that, since I really would like to get books from my library as well. Their response was to simply tell me how well the DRM PDB format works on the JBL. <sigh>
I also asked if I could be put on their email list for firmware updates (thanks for the suggestion, heffe) :-), but they must have missed that question in the email. :-(
I still really like the JBL. It's comfortable to hold, the page controls are ergonomically well-placed, it fits perfectly in my pocket, and I can go on a week-long trip without having to take 6-8 books. Perhaps someone with more influence on ectaco than I clearly have coupld get them to consider unlocking Adobe epubs?
