Most books are DRMed, some aren't. They are mostly in Mobipocket format, although some are in an Amazon-developed format known as Topaz.

DRM can be removed from the books if downloaded to Amazon's "Kindle for PC" software, or to an iOS device.

Mobipocket format books can be converted to ePub without noticeable loss of formatting. Topaz books are harder to convert, and require some manual tweaking to fix OCR errors (hidden when Topaz format is displayed by clever use of stored bitmaps of characters).

There's a Kindle app available for iOS devices that reads all Kindle format ebooks.
