You're right, and that's EXACTLY why B&N does not want their format to work on Kobo readers. You are assuming that the problem lies on Kobo's end: that they don't want to support that format, when I believe the problem lies on B&N's end: they don't want other readers to support their format, so they made it proprietary.
