Since the Adobe/B&N solution is both portable and multi-vendor, the above should read "everyone else needs to adopt the new ePub/social-DRM scheme or get out of e-books." This is the first thing to come along that stands a chance of delivering on promises of "any vendor/any device" without a phone-home dependency. I don't see the big deal.
