There are some solutions in the works however that might work for your. There are a few Android tablets that are coming out that will fall in the $150-$200 price point. They should support B&N books--via the B&N app, and read PDFs (I'm assuming that when you say you read technical books they are in PDF format).
if you need something today then you will have to concede on one requirement.
For instance of price and B&N support are most important, the jetbook is an excellent option costing $120-$150.
If technical book support and B&N is a must then the iRex and the iPad might work for you.

well, my decision was made for me when I found that fry's was selling the libre for $79.99 today. bought one at lunch. I know it doesn't support .pdb drm, but it does support epub drm, which I believe some b&n books come in. also, we can buy books from other stores in that format and the nook can handle it as well. all in all, for the $$, it's worth a shot. technical books are not important to me. I do like the fact that I'll be able to use the libre w/ no issues with books from my library. sorry for the jumbled thoughts, but i'm excited to have found such a deal on the libre. now to go do a google search on removing drm......
