Hi,
B&N still use DRM for most books but B&N has been improperly creating the epub archives (missing mimetype files, not properly compressed, etc) and that interferes with DRM removal making the IHeartCabbages python scripts fail sometimes. Also they may need to be converted by Calibe or Sigil to split the source xhtml file into smaller pieces so that they are less than 300K in size uncompressed to be properly read in older Sony eReaders.

You may want to ask on the Apprentice Alf blog in the comments section about the DRM issues.
