Well, my assumption is based on the fact that that is the way it works
right now. Go to books.google.com and try it.
I am not sure about all the ins and outs of DRM, and I don't have a reader yet, so I may be making some incorrect assumptions, but ePub seems to have some standard ways of working (for example, you can take books out of a public library) that don't require tight integration between the reader and the book provider.
Does that sound plausible to you? Google does provide books in ePub format now, so if you want to think concretely about how a DRM scheme like this would work, I would start there.
