Ok, so to make sure I understand you correctly:

Sony is using a general DRM that is not proprietary. Barnes and Noble is using a propietary DRM scheme for their ePub. So as long as Barnes and Noble supports generic ePub, they can read Sony books, but Barnes and Noble's special ePub locks their books to their software.

Am I following?
