Not really "all" devices. The Sony, Nook, B&N readers support ePub, so while they do have their own book stores, any ebook you buy that supports ePub with Adobe DRM is going to work.

Although, if I did have an ePub device I would probably stick with Google books which gives you browser based reading and ePub device based reading.

The only true lockins are with the Kindle and the iPad iBooks. Of course, iPad will run the Kindle app and the B&N app and the Kobo app.

Amazon also provide the Kindle reader on many devices and the new Kindle Cloud reader will support. So, you can take your Kindle books to more devices than just the Amazon built Kindles.
