I'm sure there are other DRM solutions out there, but I've only ever come across ADE. Can someone confirm my understanding is correct?

Otherwise I've got a heck of a lot of stripping to do.

Thanks
Many (most) of the other reading devices use a slightly different ADE encryption. B&N's is tied to your credit card number. The ADE used by Sony and Kobo, for example, is not. To read on ADE encrypted book bought from B&N on my Kobo eink device, I have to strip the drm.

This is not true of books bought from Sony, Google Play, Diesel, etc.
