Well, contrary to Harry's message the answer is, it depends. If you buy .LRX books from Sony, then his answer is correct. If you are buying some other format that is either DRM free or the DRM could be removed then you may be able to convert them for the DR.

At this time I don't think the DR supports Adobe Secure DRM.. but perhaps they will in the future which will make this easier.

Not to start this discussion again but as you can see from the post DRM is about vendor lock in and NOT copyright protection.
