No, the other stores by and large use the same DRM (with, depending on how you look at it, B&N); they use Adobe DRM. Thus, Sony, Kobo, Nook, Pocketbook, Cybook and others, can all read DRM'd books that have been bought from each others' stores. The only real exception is B&N, which uses ereader DRM, but since it has been incorporated into Adobe, in theory any of the other readers can choose to use it -- its just that few do.
