For Send to Kindle, you give them your Kindle's email and set NetGalley as someone you allow files from. I get azw3. Presumably an older Kindle would get mobi. They appear to be converted from the epub or pdf the publisher provides. When the original is pdf, the azw3 is as atrocious as you'd imagine.
I had a quick look. It appears Netgalley uses LCP in its own Reader App for Android and IOS. Readium seems to make it quite easy for its customers to produce their own apps. Such apps are usually designed so that the reader is not actually given the passphrase. Even had the lcp drm removal code remained in the tools they would have been of no use without the passphrase. It will be interesting to see how far the use of LCP spreads. At the moment it seems to be widely used in Europe though not so much elsewhere, and mainly in libraries. But it is so far not too friently to either e-ink readers or Calibre.
