The problem is that if you buy a DRMd book from Amazon or B&N, and you want to read it on a dedicated ereader, you basically are stuck buying another Amazon or B&N ereader. While there has been at least one non-eInk dedicated ereader that supported B&N's DRM, it was from a company that did not have its own ebook retail site.
