Ummm, not quite. Jetbook and Pandigital both support Adobe's ereader DRM as well as their Adept DRM in addition to the Nook. Further, I am pretty sure that Adobe and B&N have said that any other vendor who uses Adobe ADE, can elect to support ereader DRM if they choose. The only thing I am not sure about is if the DRM is open to other ebook stores.
So, if you have a Nook, Pandigital Novel (either the LCD readers or the new SiPix reader), the Jetbook or Jetbook-lite, you can buy books from B&N, Borders, Kobo, Fictionwise, Books on Board. If you buy books from B&N, you can read them on the Nook, Pandigital or Jetbook readers (and potentially other readers if they decide to support it). How are you locked in again?
Yes, you can't access ebooks from Kindle or Apple, but they are about the only ones.
