How can you tell if a book in a kindle store has DRM or not?

I use the Iphone app and have gotten books, but I heard there are some DRM free books, but how can you tell on the Amazon site?

I don't know if you can search for them, but DRM-free ebooks should have:

Product Details

* Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited

One keyword you can search for is "smashwords" since all Smashwords titles are DRM-free, although you can also get them directly from http://www.smashwords.com/.

If you like HGWells, you might want to search our ebooks pages........there are many Wells books there, formatted by our members, to give a great reading experience.

And all our books are free! Both drm, and pricewise.......
