According to the blog, you can use the Nook to read any book for free in a B&N store.

http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/...D46A2CA9C9B0D2

Unfortunately for me, the nearest B&N is 2 hours away.

JSW, since B&N is saying you can buy books elsewhere for it, it would by necessity have to have other ways to get the books on.

Have they said how the annotation feature works? I love my 505 for reading, but I've been thinking of getting a 600 when I'm ready to edit the novel I'm working on. I hate to print out all that paper, and I hate to read for long periods on a computer. I like the 'write on' feature of the 600. I'd consider a Nook if it doesn't involve typing on a tiny little keyboard.

I suspect that it showing up as a "USB mass storage device" would let you load books as well as images and mp3's onto the device from a computer.

Here is an interesting article on B&N and connection to Adobe.

http://au.sys-con.com/node/1152144

Quote:
Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) and Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE:BKS), the world’s largest bookseller, today announced further advancements for eBook distribution by joining forces to standardize the open EPUB and PDF eBook formats and collaborating on a content protection standard based on Adobe and Barnes & Noble technology.

In the same article there is an interesting paragraph that says:
Quote:
Barnes & Noble will support PDF and EPUB, a reflow-centric, XML-based open standard with broad support from the publishing industry and the Association of American Publishers. With this enhanced version of Adobe Content Server, publishers and booksellers will be able to protect EPUB and PDF eBooks through either social password or identity-based authentication options, allowing their readers access to interoperable eBook content across diverse platforms.
Social password protection will be available early next year.

I have only read the article but it looks like this is a spin off from the eReader protection scheme being added to the Adobe server. eReader currently uses a credit-card number to do protection but some sort of password would work just as well. These passwords would allow a diverse set of devices to read the file without having an ID to lock the file to the device.

It will be a matter of time before eBook "borrowing" sites pop up everywhere.

I just registered:

www.nookshare.net
www.sharenook.com

About to grab www.borrownook.com too!

Who knows, you know?

I wonder if this means that Fictionwise will also be selling DRM ePub books in the near future?

eReader had earlier stated their intent to move to an epub based format, but using their own drm scheme. Everyone was concerned that it would be some sort of hack not supported by Adobe, but this doesn't seem to be an issue now with the Adobe announcement.

Fictionwise already seems to be pushing the ereader format more than their other formats so it would seem logical they will offer epub via that channel when it's available. I can't help but wonder how long it will be before fictionwise is completely folded into the B&N business. Seems like multiple stores just increases cost and decreases your marketing benefit. Move to a standard format and let other devices use it. You potentially win on the device and content side with that model.

But that won't do me any good as I don't want to use a memory card. All that does is eat more of the battery when there is plenty of internal storage.

What this is in real terms is a way to screw with ePub so it won't be the #1 eBook format. It's a way to get the Kindle and AZW eBook to be #1.

It won't do us any good if we have devices that use Adept DRM for ePub and B&N has a different DRM for ePub. So from what I see, the Nook is turning out to be a rather useless device.
