My second suggestion is that they simply declare that their ebooks cannot be converted to or sold in any format other than ePub using, for example, the B&N-type DRM. Every ebookseller would have to sell only ePub ebooks with only that particular type of DRM.
Why?
Why is it their interests to do this?
To piss off by far their most important retail outlet, for what benefit?
