Because B&N has decided to have their own DRM for ePub, they are taking what was to be a standard format for eBooks with DRM and making it an absolute mess. We don't need or want this mess. And to be honest, all the people who have bought the nook or have one on order are helping B&N to make this mess. Everyone with a nook or an order for one needs to return the nook or cancel the order. Also tell B&N you won't have anything to do with them until they do away with social DRM on ePub. We need to hit B&N in the wallet in order to try to get rid of this new DRM. We don't need it, we don't want it and B&N needs to be told we won't stand for it. Do you want to be part of the problem or part of the solution?
