Regardless of the nook: If the ePub is faulty (not conform to the OPS/OCF & OEB specifications) then yes. If the ePub is fine but the ePub renderer on the device isn't able to render that ePub, then no. I can imagine only one exception: If the content provider had stated explicitly that the ePub will work on the specific device, then the ePub should be allowed to be returned even if it's conform to the ePub-specifications.

B&N is making one mistake: Their samples of DRMed ePubs are DRM-free. In this regard i do completely agree with you.
