I just downloaded one from BN and did read it with the Sony software.
Was the B&N ePub DRM-free? I think it must have been if you can read it using Sony eBL. B&N is using passworded ePubs (the password is your credit card number), which currently are not readable by anyone else. It is possible (but very unlikely) that eBL has this capability, but if so it would have asked you for the username and password for the ePub. One way to check its DRM status is to try to read it with Calibre.

On the other hand, Sony ePubs can be read by any PC or device with Adobe Digital Editions. The only issue is which AdobeID the ePub is registered to. If you have Desktop ADE and it already has an AdobeID, I think Sony uses that ID but if not you may get a different AdobeID for your Sony ePubs.
