And last but not least i doubt that there is real confusion at all. During the whole thread i've never read something like "i bought an epub from B&N and now it's not working on my device xy". All i've read was "if i would buy then it would not work on the device xy".
I guess I misunderstood your point -- I thought you were disagreeing with what I'd said.

It did happen to at least one person who mentioned it on this forum (perhaps not in this thread) and I suspect has or will happen to many more.

I think the "social" drm aspect is so limited that it really is not much of an improvement. The real improvement would be to eliminate all the silly DRM altogether.
