It is possible, it works on my Entourage Pocket eDGe and with Bluefire Reader app on iOS, no ADE required. It will not work on Sony, as they have not updated the Adobe SDK to a version that supports it. I asked about this on the Kobo forum but nobody has responded positively there yet, but it should work, since the new one is definitely using an SDK that knows how to deal with the B&N DRM flavor.

As I never tire of saying (because the myth persists), it is not B&N locking you in, it is the other Adobe DRM vendors locking you out.
