http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/compare/ says it supports epub, eReader, and PDF. epub is an open standard according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats#International_Digital and you can convert docs in lots of other formate to epub.

Seems you'll be able to read any document on this device. Very nice.

This has to be one of the stupidest devices ever from the FAQ:

Can I still log in to my PayPal account if I lose or break my token, or if I don't have my mobile phone with me?
Yes. During login, we'll ask you questions to help confirm your identity. When you answer them correctly, you'll be able to log in.

Isn't the whole point of this device that you have to have it to log in? What extra security does asking some questions to confirm my identity do if I have a virus logging everything I type?
