This strategy has never been formally announced but parts of it have been revealed in various informal ways. The B&N ebook store "ePub" announcement is further confirmation that this strategy is still in place.
Sure would be nice if they would share this information with their customers. I've been asking them if/when they were going to support ePub every couple of months and have repeatedly gotten a "no plans" answer.

I'm a bit concerned to read that their DRM might not be the same as that used by other ePub publishers ... doesn't exactly lead to the interoperability we all would like to have.
