I depends on the writer/publisher, as anyone uploading an ebook to Amazon is given a choice as to whether they want their book to be DRM locked or not. I would suspect that most works from major publishers will be locked, whilst those from indie publishers and authors (myself included) are likely to be DRM free, given that the indies interact with their readers a great deal, and are fully aware of how unpopular DRM is with the e-reading populace.
