I think the B&N epub books may be the only ones you can't use. I regularly use ADE to load other stores' books. The current software has some font resizing problems, but they may be solved for the US release. The Kobo actually handles three formats: the Kobo Shortcovers format, which may be Adobe Mobile technology, the epub format, with the font size problems, and PDF, which lacks reflow and crop to print in the current firmware. I have great hopes that the epub problems will be fixed soon; then the Kobo will be a great little reader.
