Question About eBook reader devices rendering engine

Hi Everyone,
I am a newbie to eBook device.

Recently, I started to focus on the eBook reader devices since Amazon Kindle DX launched. I found there are some eBook reader devices released and they support various file formats.

My question is, what is the kernel decode engine (used to decode various ebook file formats to a display-able format) of these devices?
I googled for a while, Adobe released Adobe Reader Mobile 9 SDK which can support ePub and PDF format and had been integrated to several devices. But how about the rest file formats? For example, fb2, chm, mobi, doc. They must have other decode/rendering engines for supporting these file formats. Does anyone know which kernel decode engine these manufacturer use? Is it free lib or a company like Adobe can provide such product (i.e. SDK) for device manufacturer ?

Thanks.
