The sample obviously had no DRM - If I was going to try this I would have downloaded some free books - made sure they had DRM and tried to read those.
I just feel that personal responsibility comes into play - it isn't always someone elses fault.

Why do you think B&N is innocent when B&N is clearly in the wrong.
Let's say I go to Kobo.com and download a free eBook in ePub. The ADE setup I have works with that eBook that has DRM. So I know my setup is good to go. It works. I can read the eBook on my 505. I can buy ePub now. Then I go to B&N and find they have ePub. Great, I can buy from B&N too. So I buy and cannot use the eBook I just bought. B&N is at fault for not telling me up front that I cannot use any ePub eBooks from them with my 505.
The problem here is B&N's. No other eBook format has multiple DRM for the same format. So why would the average person have to research B&N's ePub first? They would not know there is a second DRM now for ePub. It's B&N's job to tell them in the eBook's listing that it uses a different DRM then what other DRMed ePub does. B&N didn't meet their obligations. B&N is the one who should be informing the public. It's not the public that has to research ePub just because of B&N. And in my sample above, what was done should have been enough research if B&N was upfront and honest.
