This could be easily fixed by a firmware upgrade I would bet. I also think that the Sony ePub files look better on the nook then on the Sony.

This may be because B&N is looking ahead to the time when the majority of the e-books are using the same DRM/ePub version and are interchangeable. Without vendor lock-in, the retailers with their own devices are going to have to make it more enticing to buy from their own store than from someone else's. It's ham-handed, because I think the wireless and the ease of purchasing is enough to do that, but it makes sense to give preference to their own goods.
Hopefully, once the initial push is over, they'll see the light and fix it, but I wouldn't buy a nook
expecting the issue to be addressed.
