ebook devices that support Adobe DRM have an ever-increasing number of sources. The sources are surely the stores, and the libraries which are increasing in number. The same is true of devices that support Secure eReader and Secure Mobipocket. There are more than two shops selling books in those formats.
That's true for iPad *native* sources, but you have to remember that any iPhone/Touch app will run on the iPad. Kobo (althought I think that's native, too) B&N, etc. And those sources will be native soon.


However, your point about ADE & libraries is well taken, I think. If there's a way to get to those from the iPhone/Touch/iPad, I don't know what it is, unless maybe it's the B&N app.
