None of the mainstream readers (Kobo, Kindle, Sony, Nook) will restrict you from adding non-DRM material to your reader (AFAIK Nook reserves part of it's memory for Nook proprietary books, but that's as close as a restriction would come). You are better to look at what format your books are in (likely e-pub) and get a reader that easily accepts that (although Calibre will let you convert format). The DRM is on the actual book file, so the reader just needs to be able to decode that (rather than DRM being imposed by the reader).
