To make B&N's books compatible with your other EPUB devices, you would have to strip off this proprietary DRM layer leaving a standard EPUB, and there is a free tool called 'ignoble' available on the internet to do this, but providing help in removing DRM (even from your legally purchased titles) is a big bozo-no-no, so we can't give you a direct link or assistance with this software on this forum.
. . . In any case, since someone was kind enough to check the availability of this title at the Sony Store, the simpler solution would be to just purchase it there.
