I think there is nothing wrong with B&N developing the epub + eReader style DRM and giving it to Adobe to include in their epub software offerings, but I think they underestimated their competitors, who chose not to support it in their readers. There are a few epub ereaders that support the B&N DRM, but none of the ereaders which have an affiliated ebook store do. I don't know if it's because B&N priced their DRM servers too high, or if it's just a competitive decision. Given that so few of the ereaders support their DRM, I'm surprised that B&N hasn't just given in and dropped it for Adobe's DRM.
