Generally on Amazon.co.uk, under the 'Product Details' (along with things like format, publisher, etc) if there is a line stating "Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited", that means it's DRM-free. If that isn't included (and mostly it isn't), then the book has DRM.

If you are comparing the Kobo Wireless (the one that's less than £70) and the Kindle, I prefer the latter. I didn't like the basic Kobo I played with, it seemed quite slow and clunky, but I was quite impressed with the Kobo Touch. However, like you I wasn't impressed with not being able to pick it up and get a feel of it in my hand, I can do that with the Kindle in Tesco, but the Kobo's in WH Smith were firmly attached to the display
