A free software "Calibre" allows you to transfer any format over. I have found that the Jetbook loves the PRC and RTF formats best so far and Calibre can over to RTF easily. It's a great software. I wanted an E-reader just to read with and this one does a great job. I downloaded my books onto a 2GB SD card and I have enough books on it to last at least a year with room for more! And I finish a book nearly every 2 days. Plus the battery casing makes a really great hand grip! If you're a high techie who needs all the bells and whistles, you might find this boring, but us folks who just want to read easily will love it.

It will support B&N DRMd .pdb files, but not BRMd .epub. Unfortunately B&N seems to be switching over to .epub and on ordering an ebook from them one cannot tell in advance what flavor of format it is. I guess this is OK if you like crapshsoots - but I've already been burned on a B&N purchase of a .epub book. No refunds if you guess wrong. Or buy from ereader.com or from fictionwise.com. They sell the JBL and their books do work with it. The JBL is more restricted in formats than you say. It will support B&N DRMd .pdb files, but not BRMd .epub.
