Yup, OK it does have DRM and a bespoke one at that (wol) , but it also allows txt files, pdf files etc.
But the difference is that Hanlin do not own a distribution network, with which they force you to be loyal to by creating a bespoke DRM and not allowing others to use (Hanlin will no doubt sell you the technology to use their DRM if you are a bookstore)
That is the the thing that has reeeeallly pissed me off, when they had the rights to the perfectly usuable DRM mobipocket, but they didn't want to allow the purchasers of the device to use competing e-book shops.
And then had the gall not to even subsidise the price of the kindle due to this.
