Right now we have ADE's Adept DRM, B&N's eReader DRM that's been incorporated into ADE (not sure which version it started with), Kindle's Mobipocket type DRM for Mobi & KF8 all which can be removed.

There is also Apple's Fairplay DRM which cannot be removed.

These are the major DRM versions used and I really don't see another DRM being a major player.
