No one is denying you can certainly still DeDRM your B&N books. But, and this is the big but, B&N no longer has the advantage over Amazon (particularly when it came to linux users, but in general anyone who doesn't want to install more bloatware).

The one advantage B&N has over Amazon (to some) is that when you do remove the DRM, you have an ePub eBook and for those that do no convert and/or code shift and read ePub, this is an advantage. But on the flip side, those that read Kindle eBooks and also do no convert then going with Amazon is an advantage. Overall, it is easier to go from ePub > KF8 as I have seen some KF8 that might need some work after a conversion to ePub. Mostly those are from small publishers or self-published. The BPHs start off with their for sale ePub and have that converted for sale at Amazon.
