Let's just wait and have a look. I got some romance books from that store (for my wife, of course) and transactions were going just fine. No DRM on the Romance eBooks. I don't know if the same is true for the Omnilit store. Anyway, we can't have too much ebookstores, can we?
Prices seem quite steep on Omnilit, at first glance. No DRM, as far as I can see.
