This isn't actually an adobe problem with the ipad at all, it has always been the case that the hardware makers are the ones that choose to add support for epubs with adobe drm (adobe just do the desktop clients for ereaders to connect to) and unfortunately apple being apple they have decided that annoying those people who have already got an ebook collection is worth it to lock-in the people that come to ebooks due to the ipad.
The stupid thing about apple not taking a similar approach to the nook by having their own drm, but supporting the adobe drm too is that the biggest winner will probably end up being amazon and the kindle since people are going to feel more secure going with them if they are being forced to switch formats anyway.
