Most ebook DRMs have been defeated. The only two I can think of that haven't been are Sony's .lrx and Amazon's Topaz. Sadly, books that are in Topaz format at Amazon usually aren't available for purchase in any other format in any other store.
I've noticed that too - books seem to get "locked" into Topaz with no other alternative formats that I can find. Sad - esp. since some wonderful pbooks are showing up as tpz.
