More like an ADE-compatible ereader.
Yes you do. But do you not need an AZW3 or mobi compatible reader to read those formats?

And while you need an ADE compatible reader/software to read books with Adobe DRM I don't think this is an integral part of the epub standard open or not?

Not that it makes it more open or less open, but how many different readers are compatible with epub and how many with AZW3 or kepub as a couple of examples current used formats?
