For ebook readers, it depends on the format. My Nook, and the Sony I used to have, both read the epub format, so they can read any book in that format, no matter where it was bought from. Stores will tell you what format you're buying, and will often give you a choice between formats, so you just have to make sure you're buying a format that your reader can read.

(The B&N store is the exception to this - its books can only be read on the Nook, not on any other reader that reads the epub format.)

If you're reading on a phone or an iPad, different stores will have apps that let you read their books. (I don't know if there's a way to read books from stores that don't offer apps.)
