Has anyone seen any difference in the time it takes to format a non-DRM book vs one with DRM and any time difference between the old pdb format and the new ePub books? I remember back when I read ebooks on my palm pilot with eReader, the eReader software decrypted the DRM'd book as you read it (if the battery got too low, I would just start to get gibberish on the screen because the Palm would start disabling running services to conserve power) so I wonder if slow formatting times are because the nook is having to decrypt each page before it displays it.

I have a nook on preorder, so hopefully this is something they can fix.
