eReader books on Pocket Pro
I have 135 books from eReader.com. I have been reading them on a Paln Centro and a Windows Mobile phone, but would like an easier reading device. Can I read this format file on a Pocket Pro or can they be converted to be read?

Currently, no eink based reader can handle eReader DRM. You could liberate them if you are willing to find a copy of ereader2hml.py. And then you could convert to ePub.

They can easily be converted, but if they have DRM ( they probably do ) it will have to be removed first to do the conversion. That is something that you will have to learn how to do on your own since it cannot be described here. Google can help with that. Also, eReader support has been *promised* for the PocketPRO, but that support is not currently available.

Astak has said that they intend to add DRMed eReader support to the Pocket Pro, but last I heard the final agreement with B&N had not been signed to allow this.

The new iRex DR800SG, due next month, supports eReader DRM. B&N probably have their own branded EInk device in the wings, see Plastic Logic under the cover of Barnes and Noble? (not Plastic Logic and not the DR800SG). See also: Ectaco jetBook to add DRM format.

Overall, if you like eReader ebooks you may want to wait to see what is available within a month. Or you could gamble on the Pocket Pro. It is a nice, inexpensive, device and worst case (if the eReader deal falls though) you can strip the DRM and then format shift to ePub or FB2 or MOBI using Calibre.
