The eBookwise supports IMP, and ebookwise.com sells new fiction in this format. I think this meets the criteria for making IMP a "contemporary" DRM format. There is also an actively supported tool for managing DRM and non-DRM files for the eBw.

The device ships with memory. Many people never upgrade the memory that comes with their hardware. I see your point about SD cards no longer being made, but I don't think that on balance the eBw 1150 should be considered a "legacy" device just for this reason alone.
