They should also clearly indicate the format of any book you are looking to purchase.
It's just good customer relations and just pisses people off when it is "hidden."

B&N does list the devices that their reader application can be installed on and to me it is very clear. If they read the getting started page they say you need to download their reader software and it lists the Ipod, Itouch, blackberry, PC, Mac and nook as compatible devices. I think this is pretty clear that it won't work on a sony. I have an EZ-Reader that supports Epub and it was clear to me that I could not read B&N Epub on it until there is an update on the software to support the new Adobe/B&N DRM.
The problem I see is that someone read that B&N was going with Epub, but failed to read that it was implementing its social DRM.
