You can assume
most purchased titles will have some form of DRM. It has nothing to do with the ereader devices, and everything to do with misplaced notions on the part of the issuers of the books that they must be encumbered with protection to prevent piracy. There are a few havens of sanity, like Baen Books Webscriptions program, that do not apply DRM, but the larger world hasn't yet gotten the memo that it's self defeating and turns off customers.
You can probably find advice elsewhere on MR about removing the DRM. Meanwhile, I'd suggest urging Velocity to go through the steps needed to be a device Kobobooks supports.
