B&N has sent out emails to anyone who requested to be updated about PubIt!'s development. A fairly basic FAQ page is now up, for anyone who's interested.

Of note:

PubIt! Will accept pre-formatted ePub files for sale... you can use their conversion SW, but you won't have to if you're particular about your formatting.
PubIt! Specifies that it uses DRM: "Barnes & Noble's best-in-class digital rights management technology." It does not say whether the use is optional.
Non U.S. citizens can use the service... if they have registered U.S. rights to their material.
No word on what controls you will have on price (nor, therefore, whether you can post books for free).
