Ok, one last question.. say I want to buy this ebook... ok, I do want to buy it..

It looks like all of those have drm. Does that mean if I buy the book from booksonboard, I wouldn't be able to read it on my Sony device?
Not at all, you can read it on the Sony. Buy the Adobe Digital Edition version and your Sony can read that. You do need either the Sony software or the ADE software installed in order to d/l'it though. That's just the way the Adobe Digital Editions DRM works.

When you d/l the "file" you are actually downloading a token in a .ascm file.. ADE will use that info to connect to the store... send your Adobe ID to it, the store encrypts the ebook for your Adobe ID and then the book will be d/l'ed.
