I think they are clear that their e-books can be read on devices that their ereader program runs on (which includes your PC) or their nook. So you can read the book, just not on your sony reader. They have been up front that their support of Epub was with their social DRM that Adobe was making available next year to others.

What you need to do is have sony implement the ereader DRM in an upgrade of Adobe Digital Editions on their readers when it is available next year.
I still say it is B&N's fault. The average person assumes that if the sample works on their Sony Reader, the purchased book will. I didn't do the research. This is what happened. The news release indicated that Sony and B&N will be changing to the epub format. I was careful, downloaded a sample of the book and it worked. I was great!! I can order this book from B&N because it was available at SONY. I ordered it, and it didn't work. They should have a message "PLEASE NOTE: THIS EPUB WILL NOT WORK ON OTHER READERS"
