Citation please.
I've tried to follow the B&N ebook re-emergence pretty closely and I've never seen anything where they said they would support ePub. All I've seen is their proprietary eReader format implementation, which is why they purchased FictionWise/eReader just before re-entering the ebook market space.
I'm hoping you can provide a link to a news release of B&N FAQ or some other authoratative source, because I really want to like the B&N solution. But so far all they've committed to is providing free eReader software for a variety of mobile platforms, Windows and the Mac. And their eReader software is exactly the same as the free download you used to get from FictionWise.com and eReader.com which does NOT read ePub formatted ebooks. Please prove me wrong (because I do want to be wrong).
