The Kindle (and I suspect other ereaders) will let you drag text files and read them directly. For many ebooks that is sufficient. For more complex layout you can use various other file formats. Some can be directly read on a Kindle 2 (PRC, MOBI, AZW), others can be converted with little effort (HTML, DOC, RTF). The Kindle DX can direct accept PDF. The Kindle 2 can display many PDF files after a conversion to make the book layout flexible to display on a smaller screen.

We may or may not like the DRM, but Amazon feels that it was the only way to get publishers to sell their books as ebooks.
As the market matures, it may be possible to eliminate the DRM (unlikely) or to migrate to a more flexible version (more likely).
