Doesn't it sound stupid that you have to buy the same book multiple times in the same format to read it on all your portable devices - even when all the the DRM schemes theoretically allow you to read it on multiple devices - but practically don't because the DRM says:
"Yes, you can read it on more than one device: but not that one."

The iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch actually do allow you to handle all three different DRM. iBooks for fairplay, txtr for Adept, and nook for B&N's DRM. The only thing you cannot do on an iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch is borrow library ePub as the txtr app doesn't support time limted DRM and Overdrive seems to have forgotten that they said they were writing an eBook app.
But I can easily see people say it's ePub so it will work until they try it and it doesn't work.
