That is if Sony updated the version they're using. Last I knew, they were using a pre-nook version.

I think that's mostly because they've had relatively puny CPUs in the past, and the more recent Adobe RMSDKs (supporting B&N DRM) need a little more power, and they were unwilling to compromise on performance (at least that is the charitable explanation). Let's hope the T1 has updated the SDK to something newer so that Sony customers are no longer 'locked out' of the B&N store, which as you note, is one of the larger ones.

Besides Nook branded readers, what else supports B&N DRM? As far as I know, Kobo also isn't using a new enough version to support nook books.
