Unfortunately that is very difficult to predict. The ePub format (some of which are have DRM) seems to be gaining momentum as a "standard", but this is far from achieved.

I appreciate you don't want to get involved at the sharp end of liberating your eBooks from their DRM straightjackets, but if you want true portability you will need to conquer that fear!

Three pieces of very good news:

(i) It is actually very easy

(ii) This forum is full of excellent help, either via searching, or by asking directly if you get stuck

(iii) Most of the sites have a sample book for you to play with, so you can experiment without spending money

Good luck!
