This sounds a lot like what Adobe was going to do with their new DRM until it was pointed out to them how stupid it would be to have ebooks that will no longer be able to be read on a lot of devices. I guess B&N isn't smart enough to figure that out. I'm not sure how many people read B&N ebooks on non B&N devices without stripping DRM. Their ebooks have been too expensive for me to buy their anymore anyway so it won't affect me.
