OK, some update on this topic:

I ordered an issue of WSJ from B&N, downloaded with B&N's PC software. It is actually an ePub file. Copied to DR800SG, no problem opening and reading it.

I ordered an issue of NYT from B&N from 800SG, some weird message after clicking "check out". Return to "My Library", order was successful, hit "download", not finished in 5 minutes, I aborted. Using PC software to download, again ePub file. 3.8MBytes. Copied to DR800SG, cannot open it claiming Adobe DRM problem. I guess IREX haven't implemented the ePUB DRM support in the current firmware.

So WSJ from B&N seems to be DRM free.
