They may not be your personal views, but you still point a reader in a certain direction if you mainly list "good" and "bad" points. That's why I like reviews where they really make a story, and only spice it up with sentences like how well-made it feels, or how fast the screen responds to the touch (or how cheaply made and how sluggish, if that's the case).

DRM ePub and DRM Adept are still iPhone applications that happen to run on the iPad, and they only take up about 1/4 of the screen. B&N is working on the iPad version of their app (expected within 1 or 2 months) and Kobo is working on adding Adept side-loading support to their pre-existing iPad app.
Ah, forgot about the Kindle... But when I think of DRM mobipocket, I mean DRM mobipocket, not DRM kindle (be it mobipocket format or kindle format)

And about the other formats (DRM Epub, Adept and ereader), I wouldn't even mention those without mentioning that they aren't supported on the Ipad natively, but by using the Iphone app (and thus having only 1/4th of the screen available).
