Ok, as far as nook not being better for epub -- you can read epubs bought at B&N and Sony Store on nook, while you can't read B&N epubs on sony readers (and that is a fact). nook is better for epub, Sony PRS readers are worse for epub, go post there.
JSWolf -- a huge amount of the posts in this thread are made by you and they're all about the same. B&N never told you they're selling epub on the product pages. B&N never told you they're selling product which is compatible with anything beyond what's freaking explicitly listed on every single product page. Yes, you can't read B&N-bought ebooks on other devices. Get over it. PS. nook rules all. Last edited by stangri; 12-23-2009 at 06:40 AM. |

Unfortunately it seems that the ePub renderer (adobe mobile reader sdk) on the nook is much more buggy at the moment than older versions on other devices. As i wrote in an earlier post, a lot of standard compliant ePubs can't be read on the nook at the moment. This is a serious issue and B&N has to fix it asap! Given such issues your statement "nook rules all" seems a little bit odd.

Part of the problem is that there is a lot of conflicting information out there and B&N is not doing anything to help stem the tide of confusion.
Show me one place on the B&N website that says any information on ePub that's needed for the customer to make a properly informed decision? Nobody has yet done so. What B&N has on their website is not going to help people (who do not know about this DRM stuff) to make a properly informed decision to buy or not to buy. That is the problem. If B&N had put something like "The ePub purchased here uses a different DRM then other stores" that would be OK. Last edited by JSWolf; 12-23-2009 at 10:54 AM. |

It's because it was written for publishers, not consumers. To publishers, it's "one file fits all", regardless of the DRM scheme applied after the document is finalized.

Maybe if you ignore B&N's website... but just saying nobody has yet to link you to it doesn't make it true, check my previous posts where I even tell you how to get to it from any eBook page.

Considering Kobo launched well after B&N launched the nook, I seriously doubt the AP PR that people are quoting is even from B&N, like you say. But now that we have other groups stating things in contradiction to Adobe and B&N, they are not helping make this situation any clearer. |
