Just to expound on that... pretty much every ebook reader out there only supports one ebook format with DRM (even Nook and Jetbook technically only support ADE epub, they just include the ereader DRM in their ADE support). A lot of readers support a number of formats, but by and large additional support is only for non DRM'd books. Since most places that sell books without DRM support a wide range of formats, its not really an issue.

I think technically even the new Sony's still support DRM'd LRF books, but unless you have been buying books from Sony since the PRS-500/505 days, this is probably not an issue.
