Adobe Digital Editions isn't a format (even if some retailers say it it). ADE is software that reads ePub's and PDF's with Adobe's Adobe ID style Adept encryption. Adobe is adding a second type of protection which B&N is using (they're moving away from eReader format) which will be available to SDK licensees eventually (at least that's my understanding).

The NOOk is painting itself into a corner with only their own eReader format. The rest of the world is going to Adobe Digital Editions. That is why B&N is going to accept ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) next Summer!

The Nook already reads what you're calling ADE books. B&N has just gone a step further and are using the newer second type of protection from Adobe on the ePub's they sell in their own store.
