Amazon uses their own format with its own DRM, so books bought from them can only be used on the Kindle (unless you strip the DRM and convert them).

While it is true that _some_ reading systems that otherwise support Adobe DRM will not open ebooks from B&N, many will. For example you can use Bluefire Reader on iOS or Android, or even Kobo's iOS app.
