I am hoping that the JBL will keep the eReader DRM, as well.

I'm hoping that B&N would have no objection to both of the DRMs on the
JBL (and the JB for that matter) for they should have ebooks available in
both DRM formats, in their inventory.
It has been widely reported, although not recently, that it is ok to have eReader and Adobe DRM on the same device. I have not seen any reports that this has changed. The Irex DR800SG, for example, supports both DRM schemes.

As you say, if B&N wants jetBook owners as customers then supporting credit card based DRM for both eReader and ePub is the way to go. Note that Adobe provides the credit-card (password) DRM for ePubs, so all devices with this DRM also support Adobe's standard DRM for ePubs.
