This clearly distinguishes between EPub and EReader formats, even giving the .pdb extention.

The Jetbook Lite page on Ectaco says:

"Support of DRM format through Barnes & Nobles"

So this may be as you suggest: EReader DRM implemented on top of an EPUB formatted book. Given that there are currently no EReader DRMed EPUBs available, I would be quite annoyed if the JB lite did not support standard EReader books, which are, in point of fact, all that can be downloaded from Barnes and Nobles.
It doesn't actually say eReader DRM, but you're probably right.
