- Humblebundle / Fanatical
- Kickstarter
As you can see, most of your ebooks will have watermarks.

Any eBooks I buy with DRM, I only buy if I can remove the DRM. Currently, I can remove the DRM on eBooks from Amazon, eBooks.com, and Kobo. None of the ePub I purchase with DRM have watermarks. Amazon eBooks do have DRM, but DeDRM removes that DRM or not.
So if from Kobo I ever get the choice of Adobe DRM or social DRM, I'll go with Adobe DRM. However, I will download both versions and do a compare with calibre to see where the watermarks are.
