A kepub is just an ePub with extra spans. You could drop a DRM-free kepub into any program that reads ePub with no converting and you are fine.

But a DRM-free .kfx is useless on anything but a Kindle.
True that. And another issue is that even if the publisher requests no DRM, KFX has DRM. I would like to see the publishers who don't use DRM demand that KFX be truly DRM free. Tor and it's parent company (Macmillan) would be the best one to do this.
