No. I don't think the poster said his books had DRM on them, did he?
No, but he said his eBook Reader was a Nook and it is likely that he bought his books from Barnes and Noble. It is hard to know but can't be automatically dismissed either.

In that case popping the SD card into a new device wouldn't do squat...

Exactly. If a book is bought from B&N and has DRM on it, it won't be able to be read on a Kobo at all without removing the DRM. Barnes and Noble doesn't use the standard ADE DRM...they never have.

It's an SD card full of gutenbergers (and more than a few files from MobileRead) that have been laboriously formatted with nifty covers and polished to display the way I prefer.

So it's a hobby and collection thing which I'd like to be able to bring along to the next device - whenever that becomes necessary.

Maybe we'll have to wait for the next generation of Kobos.

Yeah, like I thought -- DRM is not an issue.

Sir! I resemble that remark!

Actually I'm just finishing Joseph Altsheler's eight-novel young adult Civil War epic. Highly recommended for folks who like that sort of thing. Oh, and completely public domain.
