Wine might work. If you drink enough, the pdb's might start looking like epubs. No waitasec... I mean you might be able to run the Windows version of B&N using wine (the open source Windows emulator) on Mac OS X. (It's late and I'm tired. I'm being a good hubby and waiting for my wife's blanket to get out of the dryer. ) I didn't have any luck running it on Linux (I've got a powerbook--can't try it on Leopard), but I didn't try all that hard and someone out there may have figured out how to work it. I suggest to Google wine and Barnes and Noble eReader.
Kind of weird behavior. I have Parallels so I can give it a shot that way. I just don't want to pay for an ebook and have it be the wrong -- and unusable -- format.

I guess I could just be patient until the transition is done... like that will happen!
