You can lead a publisher to water, but you can't make it think.

The way I look at it, incremental improvements are still improvements. Hopefully, once other ACS-based stores join in, market demand will lead to the feature being expanded. Adobe's FAQ implies (at the time it was written) that ADOBE hadn't told B&N the details of how the lending thing worked, so I'm not sure who's actually in control of the feature (subject to agreements with the publishers, of course).
