Thx for the info bookworm_girl. It's foolish of B&N to include DRM protection on their ebooks because they are a bookstore (unlike Apple) and therefore the sale of books/ebooks is their main goal. If they think that more people will buy the Nook because of such protection then they are being near-sighted, only focusing on the immediate benefits but not the long term drawback, thereby missing their bottom line. If they open their ebooks to all eReaders, then they will sell more eBooks.
BTW, I thought they had a black version of the Daily Edition called the PRS-950BC. But I guess that was shelved...so to speak. I would have wanted the black version because the silver is distracting for an eReader.
