Screw them all! It is just this behavior that pushes me more & more to go to the net for all of my book needs.

I want to be able to purchase my books from ANY damn store I want & to put them on ANY reader/tablet that I have at any given time. If you refuse to accommodate me, I'll find another way to get what I want.
Do not blame Sony for B&N deciding to go with different DRM for ePub. That is totally B&N's fault. Sony did not do anything wrong here. You are basically saying it's Sony's fault. It's B&N's fault. Why not blame Sony for not being able to handle ePub from Apple too while you are at it.
