Basically the new DRM is better for us customers than the old one (because the new one is less restrictive) and imho it's wrong to blame the nook (it's just a device) for the current situation.

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".

B&N refuses to refund my money, nor take away the DRM. I have legally purchased this book, so I should have the right to read it on the device of my choice.
So you see, because B&N's samples are DRM free (doesn't say so) and the full eBook is with the new DRM (doesn't say so), this ePub was purchased and now B&N will not refund the money when clearly it is B&N's fault.
