They aren't connected. Not sure why an ePub from Kobo would mention B&N. Perhaps the publisher used the same file as they had sent to B&N for Kobo and somehow the file name came through? What folks are referring to are books that have no download option in their libraries on the Kobo website.

Actually B&N's DRM scheme, while it uses a different method for an encryption key, is in conjunction with Adobe and compatible with ADE 2.x & newer versions of the Adobe RMSDK (although other vendors usually choose not to enable support on their devices).
