Look up Sony Librie. THE first e-book reader featuring an e-ink screen.
You were only allowed to read books you have purchased from Sony Japanese e-book store. And "your" books that you ... aehm ... "purchased" were only usable for a 90 day period.
No. You couldn't load your own files. Later they changed that but it did not save the device.
I wonder why the device was was such a spectacular failure ;-)

By the way, the greenreader.co.uk is misleading.
PocketBook DOES let you read your DRM-ed epubs. It just does not force you to use it.
