They go from having the most flexible, least obtrusive drm to the most restrictive. Before you didn't have any number of devices limit. Now even Amazon is slightly more flexible with Family Library.
Agree. This change means that once they reject my bank card and I have to enter a new one, it most likely will no longer work where I'll be able to sideload my books to Kobo or Sony.

I'll wait until that day and verify that I can't get it to work, but if it really doesn't as others have run into, that's when I stop buying any books from B&N. It's a shame too, for awhile I was splitting my purchases pretty evenly between Amazon and B&N. They will have fully forced me over to the Dark Side with this change!
