I didn't realize you could tell if a book is DRM free on Amazon. What do you look for?

(I thought it might be "Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited," but I spot-checked a bunch of Tor and Baen books, and they don't say that. For example, I have Ender's Game from B&N and it downloads DRM free. It also says "DRM-free" on Kobo. However Ender's Game doesn't say "unlimited" or anything else that suggests DRM free on Amazon. Then again, I've never bought ebooks from Amazon, so maybe Tor and Baen books aren't DRM free if you buy from Amazon?)

I'm feeling really burned by B&N and have stopped buying DRMed books from anyone. I'm no longer interested in "leasing" books from bookstores and publishers. If I can't own it, I'm borrowing it from the library.
