And then B&N refuses to refund the money on top of the confusion.
The FAQ also says it only works with iPhone, Mac, PC and nook (emphasis mine).

If a buyer reads between the lines and thinks "Gee, maybe it works with more than what they say", that isn't exactly B&Ns fault for that customer doing so, as B&N told them otherwise.

Again:

- You can learn to love some cabbages and read it on the Sony anyways.
- B&N's policy is likely due to the simple fact that they have ZERO way to actually revoke the license. What you basically ask B&N to do is give you your money back, while you can still run around with the file, read it on the supported devices, or even more.

I can understand your position, but right now, it isn't as if you are out the money right now unless you also went out and bought this book again from another store.
