Unfortunately, not many. Fictionwise.com and baen.com sell a few titles DRM-free, but not many, and no popular titles.

But as I said previously, it is important that the customers make it clear to the publishers that DRM only punishes honest people, when for example their device dies and they have all those ebooks tied to a specific device ID. Dishonest people don't have this problem because they just download .txt files from torrents.

I sent an email to BooksOnBoard these days, asking them what is their policy regarding device IDs, if they would let me re-download all my purchases with a new ID if needed be, and they never answered me (which is weird because my previous inquiries where answered within 12 hours).
