Their ebooks have been too expensive for me to buy their anymore anyway so it won't affect me.

Yes, I would imagine that there aren't many people who use other readers for DRM'd B&N books. There are probably more people who used sideloading to share their books with family. But people who do these things would also probably tend to be people who buy a lot of books. In other words, they may be few but they'd make up for it in terms of actual sales. I myself, a once die-hard Nook fan from the beginning, will not be making any more purchases there.
