DRM-free books will be readable on any device that supports the format. Most (though not all) formats can be shifted. For example, you can shift .LIT files to Mobipocket, ePub, eBookwise .IMP, or even Sony .LRF. You can shift Mobipocket and ePub. I don't know if it's possible to shift .IMP files, and the .LRF ones are problematic.
DRM can be removed from most formats -- .LRX being the best known exception -- if you are persistent enough to search for the routines that will unlock the books.
