I think that for the near future you are correct, most of the files sold by the big retailers (Amazon, B&N, Sony, etc) will have some sort of DRM. Until we can progress at least to the point where DRM has morphed into social DRM (with say a watermark on each file) I think that the file type is more or less a moot point. It doesn't matter if my Kindle can or can't handle the same file type that someones nook can if they are locked up by a restrictive DRM. Besides, I imagine that it would only take a firmware update of most ereaders to support whichever file type were to become dominant.
