I guess I wasn't clear, but that was my point. Neither the Kindle nor the Kobo (or, for that matter, the Nook) are open for DRM eBooks. Amazon uses their proprietary DRM and the ePub companies use Adobe's proprietary DRM. Kobo just automates the process if you buy from Kobo, as B&N does when you buy from them.
