And the iLiad supports the common formats like PDF, txt, html. So it's a lot more open than the Kindle, all things considered.

Kindle will also read mobipocket books, although not the DRM'd ones. You can use MobiPocket PC version to translate PDF, TXT (although Kindle will read that one I think) and HTML as well as CHM and several others.
Direct reading of PDF doesn't work well for 6" screens although it is quite usable on 8" screens in landscape mode. How many subscriptions can you get for iLiad?
It is useful to be able to read books on more than one device but I am not sure that obviates the DRM tag. YMMV
