Microsoft Reader (.lit) is another (maybe *the* other) current DRM format. And ADE/Barnes & Noble is not the same as ADE/other sites; some ADE books will not work on some ADE-registered readers.
There's a few others, mostly for image-based content; Zinio magazines is probably the most well-known of these. There are some that require a constant online connection to work.
Obsolete forms of DRM include LRX (Sony's format), previous Adobe methods, Gemstar's Rocketbook format, and possibly a handful of others no longer available. Some people still have ebooks in these formats, but new devices can't be registered to use them.

Despite the DRM hatred on here, ADE is a free download and works very well.

With a high-speed connection, yes. Much more troublesome with dialup. (Not impossible, I think, but not worth the hassle for me.)
