B&N Has said the following (although not really shouted it from rooftops):
- The B&N Store is migrating entirely to ePub (when they don't say, though, hence the stealth part)
- They are not giving up the password-based authentication
- Adobe is pushing out a new version of ACS and the device SDK to support the password-based authentication (B&N seems to get a pre-release version of it)
Of course, not being noisier about it, they are causing problems for users that don't have ePub-enabled reader apps on their computer (need to redownload, but nobody told them to), and so on.
