  1. You can not buy eBooks from B&N directly from your reader; you'll need to use a computer
  2. B&N sells books in two formats: PDB and EPUB. EPUB just requires DRM stripping, PDB will require both stripping and conversion.
  3. There's no good way to know ahead of time whether the book you bought will be in PDB or EPUB
  4. Stripping DRM is illegal in the US
