B&N isn't what I would call a company only ebook store. They use eReader, I use it on my iPhone, my Palm, my Mac, my Jetbook and oh yes on my nook. I do not consider B&N a company only book store for the Nook and its ebook reading. I can get eReader format from all sorts of ebook stores. So unlike the Kindle who would make me buy all my secure ebooks from them, unlike the Sony who would make me buy all my secure ebooks from them, The Nook is okay with me buying my secure ebooks from others.
Not only the above, but at least the Nook and eReader are Mac friendly. Seems that eReader is willing to play with Macs but Mobi isn't. At least all the readers allow downloads from the computers.
