Not sure why it's "laughable" to make a statement that the open format such as EPUB, in which the majority of ebook vendors supply their product, may be preferable to the format, proprietary to Amazon's highly efficient walled garden? I understand that for most people it doesn't matter where they buy their ebooks, so long as they only own one type of devices, and a single purchase covers all of their family's reading needs. But for some of us it really does matter.
Since this thread is about B&N/Nook, please explain exactly how you load a DRM protected ePub bought from B&N onto a non-Nook eReader without stripping the DRM.

For bonus points, explain how to load a DRM protected ePub bought from Apple onto a Nook.

Thanks for playing.

Regarding this thread topic, a year over year decline on top of a previous year over year decline isn't a slump, it's a nosedive. With B&N's dominant position in the US market I'm amazed at how badly they've screwed this up.
