That used to be true but newer ereaders should handle so-called B&N DRM (except for Sony). (And it is only 'B&N DRM' because no other storefronts use this flavor yet.) I can read B&N books on my Entourage Pocket eDGe, which is nearly a year old now, and also with Bluefire Reader on iOS. I suspect the new Kobo will also though nobody has one yet to check, and Aldiko on Android probably will also. It behooves all licensees to support B&N DRM, especially if they hope to sell their device and woo B&N customers to their own storefront. I don't understand Sony's rationale, except perhaps that they are trying to hold down development and support costs and wait for a more major upgrade (ePub3 perhaps).
