Secure eReader are eReader PDB format, which use a credit card number as the DRM identifier; you have to enter the number the first time you open the book on a given device. The software for it is at ereader.com, which has a list of the devices it works on. (It also worked on the first Nooks before they switched to ePub; I don't know if they disabled eReader support or not.)

The format itself is very similar to mobi: it allows bold, italics, centered & indented text, larger fonts, and limited types of pictures. It can have internal links (like, for a table of contents); it can't have embedded fonts or paragraph formatting beyond alignment (like, can't have double-spaced paragraphs). I used to love the ereader format for my Clie; I'm annoyed that none of the eInk readers besides the Nook support it.
