Even beside the support of the new DRM the ePub renderer on our PRS-505 devices is outdated. I know this and you know this too. No other manufacturer uses such an old version of the mobile reader sdk. Sony had/has just no interest to update it to a more current version of the mobile reader sdk.

Adobe has decided to create the new DRM, not B&N. B&N is just the first who uses it. Afaik their software for PC/Mac/iPhone supports the new DRM too. With or without the nook the new DRM would be an issue (or would at least become an issue in the near future)...

Btw. without ePub, Adobe, IDPF, [insert whatever you like] the issue would be a non-issue too...
