I think an easy way to determine if an .epub is DRMed would be to open it in one of the many free PC ebook reader software packages. If you didn't explicitly buy the book through that program, then the DRM keys would not be on your PC. Any protected files would therefore fail to open in something like Stanza or the Kobo software.
How about Calibre?
If I open it in Calibre and I can read from there, does this mean I can transfer the epub to ANY device that support this format?
If trying to convert works is this also a sign there is no DRM?
