The only DRMed formats are Adobe ePub and PDF. The wiki and most reports say that DRM-free MOBI is supported, but there is a ? on MOBI because some people with a Hanlin V5 say there is no MOBI support (and they should know).

There are at least three "readers" on the device, each for a different set of formats. Adobe Digital Editions is used for ePub and PDF. CoolReader is used for FB2 and RTF. Several of the other formats use a PDF-like reader that maps the format to standard pages and then renders those pages in one of 3 "zoom levels". I am not a fan of the last reader, although it works in a pinch. LIT in particular seems to be buggy, and I suggest using Calibre to convert DRM-free LIT to FB2 or ePub. My recommendations are based on the EZ Reader Basic. I have a Pocket Pro on order.
