B&N's intent was that their ebooks would be readable on other readers, which is why the B&N DRM is supported by the Adobe RMSDK. Adobe didn't make support mandatory, so it's not B&N's fault that the Kobo or Sony readers can't read B&N ebooks. That's quite different from Amazon's decision to not sell their reader software to any other ereader manufacturer. Some early dedicated readers not associated with any ebook retailer did support the B&N DRM natively (for example, PanDigital).
