Unfortunately for ebook users who don't want to be tied to outdated formats and proprietary DRM schemes, B&N elected to use the eReader format that is sold on both the FictionWise.com and eReader.com websites. Ebook publishing community is collectively moving toward a new standard format ePub, but instead of baselining their new store on this emerging standard they selected one of the oldest and least extensible formats available. It was originally developed as Peanut ebooks that became Palm ebooks. It forces artifical segmenting of books, lacks modern ebook features and is only used by B&N and the two sub-sites it owns FictionWise and eReader. I'm such a fan of B&N over Amazon, but I can't bring myself to buy 1980s software technology at a 2009 price, so I'll probably go with the Sony device that offers compatibility with the new ePub standard as well as backward compatibility with their proprietary legacy format (LRX/LRF). ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[pking36330]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2009 10:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on WSJ: Barnes &amp; Noble planning its own touchscreen ebook reader]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/wsj-barnes-and-noble-planning-its-own-touchscreen-ebook-reader/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/wsj-barnes-and-noble-planning-its-own-touchscreen-ebook-reader/</guid><description><![CDATA[The iTablet is going to demolish all of these eReaders.
