So if you were to gift me a book and by the time I saw the email and got to B&N and went to download it, it could be on Amazon. Your money wasted and my book snatched from me. If the author then decides to stop being exclusive with Amazon and puts the book back up on B&N, it's still not available to my B&N library as the link is different. So once it's left B&N, it's never mine again.
So in other words, strip the DRM, or don't buy from either source?

How very lame.
