This is not a B&N issue.
If an author tells B&N to stop distributing their book, B&N must stop.
If an author tells Smashwords to stop distributing their book, Smashwords must stop.
If an author tells Amazon to stop distributing their book, Amazon must stop.
On this very forum, someone has suggested filling a DMCA take-down notice against Kobo because Kobo hasn't been quick enough to take down a book that the author wants to make Amazon exclusive.
You are not saying "Buy a kindle!" You are saying "Buy my book at every store, just to be sure you don't lose access!"
Update: Ok, I realize now you are saying that with a kindle, I would have at least one device "backed up" with the book in case of loss, since Amazon offers the auto-download option. But even if I had a kindle, I wouldn't have it set to auto-download all my books, so that still wouldn't work in my case.
