None of the current readers "force" you to use a specific format. All of them support open formats.
Sony Reader: TXT, PDF, RTF, EPUB
Kindle: TXT (others with conversion into Mobi)
Jinke Hanlin: TXT, PDF, RTF, HTML, FB2
Cybook Gen3: PDF, TXT, HTML
iRex iLiad: TXT, PDF, RTF, HTML
Actually, even iPods will happily play MP3s and unencrypted AAC files.
