Maybe true but it has no bearing on the DRM change which is what is being discussed here. The Adobe Adept DRM is the same on all epub implementations that use it with the current exception of B&N (including the nook).

Btw. without ePub, Adobe, IDPF, [insert whatever you like] the issue would be a non-issue too...  |
I don't know that that's a fact either. Did adobe decide to do this is such a way that it just happened miraculously to use the B&N eReader type encryption key? I doubt it. I would put money on B&N working directly with Adobe to bring out this new version -- perhaps even exclusively for some amount of time.
