Not sure about that Harry, DRM free ePubs seem to come direct from the bookstore - Not via ACS (At least I always end up with a direct download for an epub without going through ADE).

So that would seem to mean that at least Amazon, Kobo, B&N, Fictionwise, BooksOnBoard, Baen, Harlequin and anyone else that does DRM free files already has a delivery system and would just need the ePubs from the publishers to be ready to go (In fact it's probably only Waterstones that can't deal with it straight off the bat & as they seem to be in discussion with B&N over a number of things I doubt it would take long to get up to speed).
