Yes, there are several sites supporting DRM-free books in the IMP format. So you can still buy new books in this format. But near as I can tell and your proposed criteria for inclusion as a current device requires current DRM would exclude them. I think it probably excludes Star eBook as well but that's a different story.
I have been looking into the DRM on the eb1150 and near as I can tell it is based on encryption of the text and uses a code to decrypt it. You can submit OPF files for publication and then the code was added but it may have been that the only way it could be delivered encoded was via the online bookshelf. They still support the online bookshelf but no longer seem to have the DRM content. The online bookshelf differs from other sites selling in that it delivers expanded files directly to the device via USB or modem instead of the IMP container. It may be able to be in the IMP file but I cannot find any record of this in my research.
