The FAQ has a link from the "Learn More" link by the "Digital eBook" logo on the book. The learn more on the link about what devices are supported also call out exactly what they currently support.
They have another FAQ which is pretty darn well hidden discussing their ADE situation (and that should be more visible, definitely and I'm not even sure if it still exists, that's how well hidden it is).
The problem with refunds is that there is zero guarantee that you are 'returning' the item. It'd be nice that they would offer a credit for this, yes, but as they have zero way to revoke the license, I can understand the problems from their side as well.
At this point, I'd say just find some cabbages to love and read the ePub on the Sony anyways, and take your business elsewhere from now on.
EDIT: Aha, the reason it is hidden so well is because the FAQ regarding B&N and the ADE update is on Adobe's website: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalp...noble_faq.html |
The FAQ does say proprietary and to mist people, that would mean with DRM and even then they would not know it means different DRM for ePub. Nobody has yet to find anyplace on B&N's site that says (in plain English) about this new DRM for ePub. So the average person won't know what's going on before making the purchase. And then B&N refuses to refund the money on top of the confusion.
