There's less to this news than meets the eye.

To Alf acolytes, $13 DRM-free is no improvement over $13 DRM-encumbered.
Especially with BAEN still running at $6. And DRM-free.
But to others, it is a big deal. It means for one that they can shop at B&N even if they don't have a way to deal with B&N's flavor of DRM.
