Exactly why I'm asking. ![]() It would be wonderful if they did shift to epub (drm'd) or not as far as I'm concerned. That would push Amazon that direction as well. |

interesting...I may have to take a look at this. I love my Kindle but I've been wanting something that would accept ePub and I refuse to buy another Sony reader since they sold me that crappy 700 and then refused to take it back...

Here is a Q&A question I found interesting:
5:11 p.m. Question: Will there be an Android app, since there are iPhone apps, etc? Answer: No announcement yet, but obviously looking at that closely. |

IF that is true then is is already not true. There are several stores that sell ePub via Adobe DRM.
I assume they are counting Blackberry, PC, iPod Touch, Plastic Logic, iRex, etc. Will the ereader software on blackberry and other devices now support ePub? BOb |

I bought one too, I have not bought a reader since the 300 and this should hold me over till the Que arrives. Make sure you buy some good books that you can lend me, I will do the same for you.

Fictionwise's multiformat & Smashwords also cover almost everything. Non-DRM ebook retailers support a lot more devices than any DRM store is going to manage. Or does he mean, "We have contracts to promote more devices than any other e-book retailer?" |

If B&N switches to ePub instead of eReader, unless they drop support for BB, (which would be stupid), then they'd practically have to come up with an app for it, or an update for the existing app. that would support ePub.

If the only way to get books onto the Nook is wirelessly, then would that not tie it into B&N?
