Is there any good ereader that can just read both Mobi and ePub? From what I understand, DRM issues prevent that, right?

There is no ereader that can read Mobi with Amazon DRM and epubs with another DRM. Amazon prevents the use of the mobi reader, which they own, with someone else's DRM.
FBreader can read non-DRMed mobi and is not owned by Amazon, so it can co-exist with ADE and the Adobe DRM on the same reader. The Pocketbook 360 has that: you can read epubs (including with Adobe DRM, I think) with ADE and Mobi (
without DRM) with FBreader. However FBreader has some rather big faults, I personnally don't like it at all and it's one of the reasons I gave up on the Pocketbook and bought an Opus instead.
