It is a different kind of Adobe DRM, but, from other things I have read, the readers that support the kind of Adobe DRM that Sony and Kobo use, could also recognize the B&N DRM. It's said that it would work if Kobo/Sony were to turn that feature on. I don't know how difficult/easy/possible it really is, but perhaps when US folks are trying the Touch out, we'll know more.

From what I understand, the B&N Adobe DRM is associated with a credit card number--vs Kobo which is associated with the email address used when opening an Adobe account. Whether this is a complication or not, is something that Kobo staff probably know.
