I see that many of the ebook stores are carrying Epubs now. I, along with others, think this is great.

My question is, do these stores automatically use a DRM (ADE I believe) on the Epub, unless told otherwise. Or is it DRM-free Epub unless told otherwise.

I looked at some of the smaller stores that were listed in the News and Commentary section, but they did not specify whether they use DRM or not.

I realize the bigger bookstore, specifically Books On Board, use DRM and they Clearly state theirs are DRMed or not, depending on the book.

Can I assume if an ebook store does not STATE it is DRM, that the Epub is Not DRM'd.

Thanks.
