Nope. Incompatible formats. Incompatible DRM. This is the reason I'm currently only reading free or very cheap books on my Kindle. I'm not willing to pay money for an ebook unless I know that, in the future, I'll be able to read it when I want and on the device that I want. If ebooks cost two bucks each and could be read anywhere I'd buy a couple hundred a year. Now I'm not buying any. Can I read the books I purchased for my Kindle on the new Nook? Nope.
