Are you reading it (the epub) on your desktop reader? does it work on your phone as well? Did you have to upgrade your phone application to read it?
I did purchase a free epUb from B&N and it's not possible to tell the format before you buy it. So when you buy a book from B&N, it's a crapshoot. Plus, with the DRM used on the ePub from B&N, you cannot use them with any other readers out there. The link below is to the free eBook (with DRM) in ePub from B&N.
