I know I would prefer a reader that supports a ubiquitious format. I wouldn't care so much about DRM if it allowed me to read my books on any device and also transfer ownership to someone else if I want to.
Perhaps in 3 years or so ePub/AdobeDRM or ePub/eReaderDRM will be there and have the selection.
But, TODAY, no store that I see beats the pricing or availability of the Kindle store. That is why I chose to replace my Sony 500 with a Kindle1 rather than a Sony 505. (BTW: I had bought 0 books from the Sony ebook store after having the device for 1 year.)
