Yep. So, once again, it is actually true that B&N books are interoperable, although Kobo manages to lock them down anyway.

How that helps when most devices, STILL, are Kindles, I do not know. In any event, there are only 10 ebooks published with DRM of any sort* which are interoperable. They are published by Pottermore, and guess how they solved it...

* Edit: I mean encryption style, not watermarking DRM.
