If they're legit, the back end has to be turn-key or they're never going to make a dime. And if they're dealing with bestsellers (as their faq indicates they are), then that turn-key back end is some sort of enterprise Adobe variant. I'd bet on it.
It could be ePub with some other DRM applied. If it was ADE with Adept DRM, then these eBooks could be read in ADE on the PC. But that's not what they say in the FAQ. They say you need to use a web browser to read the eBooks on a PC.
