So...did you go to the B&N site, or to ereader? Ereader says it is a B&N company...that's why I am asking.
I went to B&N, but couldn't see any mention of formats (and def nothing for the Pre). When you went through the purchase process, did it prompt you for PC, Mac etc? What did you select...PC? Or does it give you the option of .pdb? Is there DRM e.g.need to enter passcode or cc # and name when opening the book via preader? Thanks.

It's still pretty much in a beta stage, but many of the books you purchase on B&N have a nice "share" button, which means you can loan your ebooks to other people to read on their computers, Pre's, iPhones, Droids, or wherever. That being said - I'm willing to loan the few I've already purchased that are shareable if anyone's interested and willing to loan back!
