No - Currently libraries use DRM ePubs or DRM PDFs and the JB Lite doesn't handle these formats.

I don't know. I don't think all flavors of pdb are the same.

wide range of formats but currently the
only DRM format supported is PDB. This doesn't bother me because I remove DRM from all of my purchases so I'm able to buy from most every store without worry.
Someone else will have to advise on 6 and 7.
