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

IIRC, B&N flavor of Adept is supported by all devices running the current version of Adobe ADE (2.0?). So, that's not the issue. Apple's DRM scheme seems to be proprietary, which is why one should think twice before buying any ebooks from them, unless they will only be read in iBooks. I am not sure what's going on with Kobo, they used to sell ebooks with standard Adobe Adept DRM, but they may or may not still be doing it.
The big hardware vendors are obviously trying to make their customers purchase content from them. Amazon is making it very difficult for its customers to purchase content from anyone else. Not impossible, given certain knowledge, but for 99% of their customers - near impossible. Sony on the other hand made buying books from online stores a totally open process. B&N is trying to emulate Amazon, of course.
