Not as good an example, maybe, but I think it's still a good example. They chose more stringent DRM, and in doing so kept Sony Readers off their site. Sony is (probably) the 3rd best-selling Reader brand out there. And B&N's choice of stronger DRM effectively created lock-in by excluding their two biggest competitors in the Reader market.

I said I was a stickler! I want lock-in gone, gone, gone! There is not one good thing about it for end-users.

I also think money!! is the real reason Sony isn't using B&N-level DRM. I have never noticed a book taking longer to turn pages because of DRM, so I'm not sold on the performance argument.
