Well, the iLiad DRM-laden, yes, if you mean that if you want to buy a book or newspaper subscription directly from your iLiad, you have to go through the iRex online store, just like Amazon with the Kindle. But IIRC, the books you get that way are ordinary Mobipocket (DRM'd) files, so you can read them on other readers in addition to the iLiad. And the iLiad supports the common formats like PDF, txt, html. So it's a lot more open than the Kindle, all things considered.
