Free and Open. I'm not sure what Sony does, but.....it's like the AAC format iTunes uses. It is free and open (mp3's successor) but Apple did/does put DRM on it......though nothing I've bought lately has been DRMed from the iTunes store.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. But I have scanned or have found scanned versions of a TON of books that I use for teaching. They are in PDF format. I'm not sure if a Kindle can read PDFs. The new iPad will. The iBook store uses a format called ePub which is open (unlike the Kindle's)......

Open to a point -- I'm not sure if an iPad ePub file can be read on a Sony Reader or if the copy-protection limits the reading of copyrighted materials only to the specific device it's registered to. Sony's copy protection works that way.
