Amazon and Kindle have always been upfront about only supporting their proprietary format and people just chose to ignore it.

Never had any trouble with my Nook.

I dont think that is true at all. They describe it as an e-reader and its reasonable to assume that that means it can read e-books. They even list EPUB on the supported formats section of the specs. No caveat there about only partially supporting EPUB.
