Yes. The problem is with the DRM (encryption) scheme used. Before the Nook there was only one DRM scheme for ePub, from Adobe. Now there are two schemes, the original Adobe and the new "social" DRM (as used for a long time by eReader, based on your name and credit card number). The Nook will be using the social DRM, which will be available to all Adobe licensees (e.g. Sony) next year but until then only B&N products will be able to read DRMed B&N ePubs. Note that Sony does not have to add social DRM reading to its devices, and it is quite likely that they won't do so (since they are anyway very slow to update their Reader's firmware).
