If they've changed to a harder to crack DRM recently, that's news to me. I rarely buy from them, but I recently bought an expensive academic book that Amazon didn't have, any my existing DeDRM inside of Calibre still decoded it expertly.

The Fictionwise/eReader.com, credit card-based DRM, was often referred to as a social DRM because it relied on the credit card number used to buy it. Anybody who knew the number could read the ebook. You could lend an ebook to anybody you trusted with your credit card info.
Very early in the life of Nook, they sold epubs that used that DRM. About a year or so later they switched to a proprietary ADOBE variant and in 2015 they switched away from that one.
