Anyone know what happened to the older Sony-Borders e-Book Store?

I was poking around the Borders eBook store, and it looked nice enough, haven't sorted out yet in my mind whether it's a rebranded kobobooks.com as some have said, or not. Lots of similarities.

Kind of looks like an Adobe/ePub sort of thing, similar to B&N, so I guess that's goodness, in the sense that there's at least not a new DRM format, and therefore not extending the current problem all that much. But I am kind of surprised that there seems to be a bit of a convergence on Apple, seems to be the iPad is the one device everyone is supporting.
