As it happens, I like that book anyway and will buy the full book from BN once I finish one of the two books in BBeB from the Sony site I am currently reading. If I cannot read it in Sony 3.1, I will read it in BN 2.1. I'll also check then if it is ePub or PDB.

I'll let you know after I make that test.
Again, I don't know what your deal is.

You claimed that you could read a B&N DRM'd EPUB in the Sony Application. You can't. You can read a B&N non-DRM'd Epub (the sample) but not a B&N DRM'd Epub (the full book - pre Jon's Link).

This is not even about PDBs. I'm trying to clarify your erroneous statement about B&N Epub files.
