If I buy a Dreamspinner book from Amazon it has DRM, if I buy it from Dreamspinner or AllRomance it doesn't, so how did the DRM get there?
The publisher has chosen to have Amazon sell the book with DRM.

Aren't all Amazon books DRM'd
Good Heavens, no.

how can I tell the ones that aren't and convert them to ePub?
Personally, I neither know nor care whether or not a book has DRM, because "the plugin that must not be named" transparently removes it as I add the book to my Calibre library. I believe, however, that if a book displays "Usage count: Unlimited", it indicates that the book doesn't have DRM.
