Pocketbook Touch Lux reading epub DRM
I would like to purchase an ebook from Barnes and Noble but I do not own a Nook. I have A PocketBook Touch Lux 4. It is supposed to be able to recognize epub DRM. Will I be able to read this book on my device? I know for sure that my reader cannot even see Amazon Books, but what about Barnes & Noble? Will I be able to read a Barnes and Noble book on my Pocketbook?

Last time I looked, Barnes & Noble did not use the standard Adobe Adept DRM. I vaguely remember that their variant was tied to the credit card registered with B&N but it could easily have changed since those days.

You might want to check the Did BN change DRM scheme AGAIN? thread in Barnes & Noble NOOK forum.

Thank you. So far I found the book I want only at Amazon (which does not work for me) and Barnes and Noble. It looks like it is not going to work either.

It's not that hard to remove the DRM from Amazon books and convert them.

I'm not saying that they'll have the book you're looking for, but have you tried Ebooks.com or Google Books?

Thank you for your kind answers.
Neither Ebooks.com nor Google Books has the book I want.
I am not that computer savvy to know how to remove DRM. Everything is easy when you know how to do it.
Thank you for your help.
