Anything without DRM (encryption) is supported or can be "format shifted" to a supported format. The only DRMed format supported is Secure MobiPocket. A DRMed format that has been broken is exactly like a DRM-free file, but removing the DRM may not be legal where you live. The most widely broken format is Secure LIT (for MS Reader), and many people buy Secure LIT because it is not secure (to get a DRM-free e-book).
The format that most people mistakenly expect to be supported is Adobe e-books, which you might see described as Secure PDF. These are not supported, and this is the most common library e-book format. On the other hand, password protected PDFs are supported.
