jetBook and jetBook-Lite can handle both DRM's while the Aluratek Libre Pro can handle only the ADE DRM at this time.
I live in Canada and even though my jetBook can handle the B&N DRM, B&N does not sell here.
On another note, I remove DRM from my purchases. As these books are digital I can horde them and may be re-read them in the future but there is no guaranty that the DRM will work in the future. It has happened in the past that people have lost access due to technical improvements.

The Jetbook Lite supports the additional format of .pdb, which is the best
selling format at a number of the more established ebook retailers, who got
started meeting the PDA market. Also, the corresponding DRM, "Secure eReader"
for that format. As far as I know the JBL is the only ereader that
supports all three of these DRM scams.
Give "Inkmesh", an ebook search engine, a try and notice the formats and
DRM in use and the pricing associated with them.
