As others have said above, B&N does not use Adobe IDs. They use their own password-based DRM instead.

As a consumer, there seems little reason to play the publishers DRM game. Simply remove the DRM as soon as you get an ebook, and then use it under the normal "fair use" rules for all books. Any DRM scheme will screw you in the end (they are for the convenience of publishers, not readers). Stripping DRM immediately means that you will never be surprised when Adobe's pathetic deauthorization procedure locks you out of your ebooks, or when an ebook store is locked out by a publisher and all your old ebooks become orphans.
