I tried getting a B&N book without a Nook program. It did not work. It was a book that shouldn't have had DRM and I still couldn't get it to work. This was when Nook first came out. Maybe it has improved, but I haven't bothered to try.
Really. All the vendors try to lock their customers in. It's not as though one vendor is better than another in that aspect. Sure Amazon has a proprietary format, but so does Nook in its own way since they don't use the same DRM as Sony and so on.
