The point of ePub on the nook as opposed to the kindle isn't about the books sold at BN's , yes those are pretty much no different then the books sold at Amazon, it's the ability to shop at multiple places that sell their books with ePub format and the ability to check out books from the library.
And yes I know before everyone chimes in You can strip away any DRM etc. but with the nook, you don't have that worry, It's simple, download then sideload, no extra steps. That's the argument for having ePub.
to each his own I guess.

If the books that you want are available at the store associated with your device and they are the same price (thank you Agency Model) then why do you need a device that allows you to shop at other major retail outlets?
Amazon has a great selection of books and it is rare that one needs to leave Amazon's store to find a book. The multiple store option is more of a necessity when you can't find the books that you want.
I am sure there are books that people want that are not available at Amazon that are available at other stores. In the two years I have owned a Kindle I have been able to buy the books that I want without any problem. The books that I have wanted to read have not been available in any book store (Harry Potter) and the few times a book has not been available at Amazon it was not available at other e-book stores. I checked.
