The NOOK has no problem with books that aren't purchased from B&N. The Kobo bookstore is significantly lacking. It's not like they're Amazon where you can get anything you want. With Kobo you have no choice but to shop elsewhere for content.

Honestly, I don't know the logic to it. For all intents and purposes if it works on one, it should work on the other, but, I'm not a programmer, being a hardware person myself.
And personally, I would like to see them to drop down to epubs only too; it would make it a lot easier on themselves to try and support one form of epub rather than two. However, I think it actually has to do with Adobe's DRM; with the KEPUB's, they can offer direct downloads to your reader, where as with DRM epubs, they have to go through the Adobe software to download the book, and then transfer it to your device. I don't know how nook operates so I really couldn't comment on them and how they compare to kobo, but I believe they do have a proprietary format too, no?
