Yes, as did Mobipocket back before Amazon owned them IIRC*. Amazon also said that anyone wanting to licence Kindle DRM had to make their devices work with Whispersync (this was back when most devices weren't wireless). At one time Adobe had the same rule (that they be the only form of DRM on a device), but that must have changed since Kobo has both Adobe and Kobo DRM.


*My old Cybook Opus had two firmwares available, one with Mobi DRM and one with Adobe Adept.
