You think so? Not DRM for both ePub and PDF?

EReader & Adobe would seem to make sense, yes. But I don't see anything that specifically says they have both of those forms of DRM. I couldn't find any technical listings at all. And their reader comparison chart (pdf) is flawed--it says Sony supports "Adobe PDF, EPUB, BBeB, TXT," but doesn't mention RTF, and that the iRex will support "Adobe PDF, EPUB, Newspaper Direct, Fictionwise, eReader, TXT."

What's "fictionwise" format? And is "newspaper direct" a proprietary format? (I poked around at http://newspaperdirect.com; I expect the digital version to be ePub-ish. Or PDF-ish, which would be unpleasant.)
