nobody complaint that Amazon sell books in their format that can be used on Kindle eBook reader only but why you complaint that B&N sell books in ePub format that works only on Nook eBook reader? I'm sure that B&N made it with the purpose: people will buy Nook to read books from B&N website.
Amazon changed Mobipocket files to work only on the Kindle. This we know. But Amazon did not call the Kindle only eBooks Mobipocket. They call them AZW. So nobody is going to get mixed up as to what DRM is on what eBook.

B&N started selling eReader eBooks. Then B&N took ePub and added a different DRM to them. Then B&N started sneaking ePub into their eBook store to sell without anything saying they are ePub and if you find out it's ePub from downloading a sample, there's nothing to tell you it's a different DRM. So ou go and buy the ePub and get one you cannot use unless you have a nook.

Nobody complained about Amazon like this because Amazon was not being sneaky and underhanded.
