It isn't just the EZ Readers, all the existing EInk devices with DRMed MOBI support (except the iLiad, which is still sold but will have no new firmware) now have a separate firmware supporting DRMed Adobe PDF/ePub. The only new device with announced MOBI DRM support is the Bookeen Opus. Bookeen is the only vendor who has interpreted their agreement with MobiPocket to imply that they can provide MOBI as a "separate but equal" firmware to Adobe. Everyone else has dropped DRMed MOBI for all future firmware releases.
