The topic is not a lie. B&N is the one's lying with a sin of omission.

The problem is that B&N is the only one's with the software. It's not that what we have is outdated, what we have CANNOT YET be made compatible because the SDK from Adobe has not yet been written to allow others to be compatible.

Let's say you went to CVS to buy some AA batteries for your remote control. You bought CVS brand AA batteries. You took them home and put them in your TV remote. They didn't work. But later on you find out they only work in a CVS brand remote. But on the packaging it doesn't mention they only work in a CVS brand remote and the batteries look like ordinary AA batteries. Would you be pissed at CVS or would you say it's your fault for buying them?'
