So Kindle books are different than Nook books?

I have read (in the Nook posts) that "opening in the viewer" means the books are de-DRMed, but then someone said that "viewing the book in Calibre" does not prove that the DRM has been removed. They said to use Quality Check plugin, but when using it, I don't know what the results mean.

It could be that the blue starred books STILL have DRM or it could mean that the blue starred books do NOT have DRM. The majority of the books do not have a blue star.

Does anyone know?

Another question..

I did open several books in Calibre and noticed that the books had KFX or AZW3 or EPUB in the top right box after clicking on the Edit Metadata icon. I am curious about why I need to know that. Are AZW3 books treated differently? Need a different plugin? Or are they just older books than the KFX books?

Sorry for so many questions, but I was a teacher for many years, and I still love to learn new things. I appreciate all of the answers! Thank you.
