Personally, I have serious issues with an author blaming B&N (and Smashwords) for the author's own actions.

So because an author
exercises their Copy Right (their legal right to distribute how they see fit) to
not distribute through a seller, you consider it appropriate to (a) blame the seller for respecting your rights, (b)
not refund your readers' money, and (c) also tell readers that they need to buy a completely different e-Reader in order to be one of your readers? I... wow.
Also, 10 points to Gryffindor for basically saying ("I still have trouble believing this happens") that the readers in this thread who have had this happen are lying, mistaken, wrong, etc.
