I assume it will have to be designed to support the Adobe ID DRM system.
Although I'm not sure how this will happen. From the Astak thread we have learned that the licensing requirements for support Mobipocket DRM state that no other DRM method can be supported on the device. This means Adobe ID DRM can not be added to a CyBook.
Sony can add it because their current DRM is their own... but once again, Sony has vendor tie-in with their propritary DRM... I know they have talked about supporting DE/AdobeID DRM but wouldn't that open up where you can buy a book. Unless Sony has decided to get out of the book business and just wants to sell devices.
We live in interesting times.
