What is the Barnes & Noble eReader?

[Parilee · Accepted solution]

The Barnes & Noble eReader is an application used to read Barnes & Noble eBooks on your iPhone, Blackberry, Windows PC or Mac. Without it, you will not be able to read Barnes & Noble eBooks. Our eBooks are encrypted to protect the authors' work. Thus, other eBook Readers will not work with Barnes & Noble eBooks. The Barnes & Noble eReader can display styled text (italicized, underlined, etc.) and formatting as well as perform functions not found on other eBook readers. The Barnes & Noble eReader is FREE and is supported on multiple devices.

The Barnes & Noble Ereader, at least on the PC, looks suspiciously like a revised version of the EREADER pro (ereader.com).    Ereader.com (and Fictionwise) are now Barnes and Noble companies.  Ereader.com just released an Android version.  Nook runs on an Android Operating system.

wonder how the current B&N eReader desktop software will be considered once the nook ships and I believe that Adobe Digital Editions will be used for the nook DRM support on the desktop ?

ie - will any portion of existing eReader ebooks currently on a user's desktop via eReader be able to be migrated over to the Adobe Digital Editions desktop world and then onto the nook ?
