Okay, sounds like Kobo still hasn't joined the B&N party and that the report I saw which said that it worked was in error.
I have never understood the thinking involved in deciding not toimplement the workflow to allow B&N books to be side-loaded. It will always be easier to get content from Kobo on a Kobo device, or from Sony on a Sony device. They should do everything possible to get people to get one of their devices, it will almost certainly result in some book sales as well, especially since there is so little price competition, thanks to agency pricing.
But if people can't take their existing content with them, it presents a barrier to B&N customers considering a switch to Kobo or Sony, whereas there aren't any going the other direction. And these artificial incompatibilities makes Kindle DRM seem friendly by comparison, when it really isn't.
Adobe Digital Editions 1.8 Preview will open B&N books, but doesn't include any device support. When Adobe adds device support, it may at last be possible to use it to side-load B&N content on more devices.
