You have an ebook, the software to open the ebook and the device to read it on. The ability to open DRM'd files is in the software. Amazon locks the kindle by not having software to open epub. B&N locks the new nook from kindle books by not having the software to open mobi, but keeps it open to other epub vendors, and I think that nook color can (or can be made to) open mobi. Sony locks their readers from all others by having software that only opens their DRM, if I understood correctly what SleepyBob wrote.
Amazon DRM locks the books to kindle software.
