This is because B&N are intentionally misleading people into thinking their epubs are useable on other readers.

Nor will they allow you to return or get credit for it.

Best policy is to not buy there and complain to holy h*ll to them about it.

As stated you can (perhaps illegally) strip the drm off and put it on any epub reader.
