Yeah that seems a bit strange, I'm not sure why they don't distribute those for free and market it as a great feature of the their ebook store. I mean after all they'd probably get a lot of signups from people enjoying the public domain works and they convert to real sales and customers pretty easily.

The more competition the better obviously and competition usually kills DRM, so I am all for B&N here. Remember when Amazon entered the mp3 market and forced itunes to remove DRM and change pricing? Competition!
