I asked to B&N support. This is their reply:

Dear Customer,


Thank you for your e-mail.


We are always eager to provide information on our services and the
selections we offer online. However, the questions you have posed are
beyond the scope of the information that we provide to the general
public. The information you are seeking may be proprietary. Therefore,
we are unable to answer your questions.


We regret any disappointment this may cause, and wish you well in your
endeavors.



Sincerely,


Katina

Unbelievable.
No I thought they switched to ePub for all ebooks, but clearly I was wrong. This is very bad, we should know in advance what we are buying.
Well, I bought only a single book, recently, and it was ePub. When did you buy it?
1.) Does the normal jetBook support the Barnes and Nobles DRMed ePub ebooks?

2.) Should I install a B&N application to download ebooks from thei web-site?

3.) How can I know (before buying the books) if they are available in ePub and not in pdb?
To be precise, I already know how to remove the DRM, what I'm looking for is a way to retrieve the device (jetbook) key in an easier way than decrypting it from an installed Windows ADE (which I already know how to do, but it's not portable on other platforms).
Can anyone post the content of the activation.xml file into the .adobe-digital-editions hidden folder on its ADE authorized jetBook, please? I'm asking it to see if I can find (and then share) a way to remove the DRM protection from ePubs.

My JetBook Lite freezed again with firmware 0.15d. I can only throw it in the trash. Beware, don't buy it!
Received, with firmware version 0.15d, patch 15. Let's see.
FWIW I sent the device back and paid also for shipping it again to me. I should receive it next week. I'll let you know if it's really fixed (but it could take awhile).
Phil assured me the new firmware fixes the issue, but I had to ship it back
Repeating always to load a firmware into a locked device, ignoring the fact that's not possible, let me think they have never observed a locked device and so I doubt even more that the new firmware fixes this issue.
Unbelievable, they asked me to pay *both* shipping costs, to return the unit and to have it back repaired/replaced.

And still they haven't confirmed that with the new firmware it'll not happen anymore.
So, I have to return my jetBook Lite for replacement. Is there another way, in addition to call 1-718-728-3605 from Italy, to get the RMA number and the shipping address?
Very bad. The new firmware cannot be loaded on a locked up jetBook. I'm starting to doubt if the the new firmware really fixes this issue. Now I imagine I should request an RMA. Very bad.
Do you know if the normal jetBook (not Lite) suffers the same problem?
