But the moment you don't, it sucks.
B&N customers are as locked as Kindle users when buying directly from their stores, assuming you don't know or don't. want break the encryption. You cannot read B&N books outside of B&N environment.
The main problem is DRM protection. If I buy a DRM free mobi book I can read wherever I want, even on your Sony via Calibre conversion.
