I think this is pretty clear that it won't work on a sony. I have an EZ-Reader that supports Epub and it was clear to me that I could not read B&N Epub on it until there is an update on the software to support the new Adobe/B&N DRM.
The problem I see is that someone read that B&N was going with Epub, but failed to read that it was implementing its social DRM.

No, it's way less than up-front and clear. It says epub and without any further details, the implication is that it will work on standard epub readers. The sin of omission -- the fact that something is NOT listed is misleading as is the fact that you can download the sample and read it on your Sony.
The problem is they DON'T SAY it's different, just like they didn't say that you could only lend a book one time. They are being slimy. Plus the no returns is just wrong. Can you say anti-customer?
I keep hoping these companies will some day understand, but they keep proving me wrong.
