This is annoying behavior on B and N's part, but how is shutting off the download feature of one of their apps (while still allowing them to be downloaded on a computer and sideloaded) related to DRM? The DRM free books that you can occasionally find on B and N would also need to be sideloaded. B and N's DRM scheme is, as far as such things go, better than the others because it doesn't tie you into their servers for authentication. As long as you have your username and password, a copy of the reading software, and a copy of the book, you will be able to access your books even on a new machine. The same can't be said for kindle books or Adobe ADEPT books (that haven't upgraded to the new system).
