By %age of books sold, an overwhelming proportion of the market do not use standard Adept DRM. Even excluding Amazon and sticking just to ePub books, this is still true. This is hardly surprising, why would they want to pay Adobe 22c per book sold for something that a major player could instead do for themselves?
You have a very strange definition of standard. Anyone can use the latest Adobe Reader SDK and support B&N books.
