Yes, their simple method of use a credit card number for DRM is easy and simple to use and does not limit the number of readers you can use but it is only conjecture that they have refused to license the technology. We don't even know if Bookeen has even asked them. Bookeen already supports PalmDoc format I believe so it is a simple matter to support eReader by just mapping their keywords for paragraph, etc. to html or mobi versions. DRM is the only really unique item and many books are not DRM anyway.

The formatting is under control of the reading program so I am not sure I understand the comment about line spaces. If you look at an eReader file on a PC where the screen size is large, what do you need to change? Is it just a preference item on the spacing between paragraphs or something more?
