Clarification?
If I have a Sony700...... and I buy a book from Barnes and Noble.........
I can't read it on the Sony? The nook supports epub, right? The two aren't compatible? I'm having a problem getting my mind around this. If the above is correct, has the drm been cracked on the BN books? I know they can both read library epub e-books, right? Thanks . |

The nook will work with Sony ePubs. Never tried mine with any library e-Pub books yet. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66295 |

Yes, because Nook admits the two types of DRM and libraries have standard DRM (not that I know, at my country, if I ask about lending e-books, I'm sure the answer will be: we don't lend electronic devices ) |

Long and short is that you cannot read a book purchased on B&N on anything but a nook at this time. Both can read library ebooks just fine. The nook supports old and new versions of the Adobe DRM used for epub files. And I do believe that I have heard the "B&N" new version of the Adobe DRM has been cracked, so really, if you want to crack it, this whole discussion is moot. That guy or gal that likes cabbages is smart... |
