Thus, I now know for sure that the BN ePub books will work with the Sony 3.1 software on a PC AND on a registered Sony eReader. Evidently, the books are DRM'ed to the PC - not the company which produces the ePub software or eReader devices.
WRONG! The sample is in ePub without DRM. Reader Library and the Reader will handle it just fine, but if you were to purchase the eBook, you would get B&N's new DRM for ePub which Reader Library and your Reader cannot handle. So do not purchase anything from B&N. You will get burned.
