Yep. Ideally, you'd be able to buy ebooks the way you buy mp3's. Pay for it, download it, own it, put it on any device you want. However, DRM itself--though I'm against it myself--doesn't change the native file format. It's just an encryption scheme. You could conceivably have everybody using the same epub standard under the hood, with or without DRM.
