Very interesting: I'm using the B&N PDBs on iRex 800 and on nook.
Sometimes, author's name or book title have differences on both units. For about 25% of my B&N titles, iRex 800 shows flaws (*) whereas nook shows what I'd expect. But nook only does so in the original B&N library. In nookLibrary (the softrooted one), it's the same as with iRex 800.

(*) No author's name, strange author's name like "dll", book title in capital letters, ...
From what I recall, the Nook had that bug out of the door, but they fixed it in a software update. Hopefully the same will be true with the iRex. I have to admit that I'm very tempted to pick up the iRex and a Nook at this point, even though I'd been leaning toward the iPad and the Alex...the problem with the Alex is that it won't support wireless download of the B&N content because it will use Kobo's books. Then again, it's running Android, so I'm guessing you could get B&N books on there regardless with calibre-server. Hm........

Too many good devices coming out right now!!
