BooksOnBoard has DRM. So does diesel-ebooks, ebookwise, and a good portion of Fictionwise. The big ebook stores have all embraced DRM.
The largest no-DRM ebookstore is, I believe, Baen's webscriptions, which is *wonderful* (they truly grasp how ebooks work, and as a result, their ebook sales outmatch their non-US physical sales worldwide), but Baen is a sci-fi only publisher.
Fictionwise has a good selection of non-DRM'd books; they're the ones labeled "multiformat."
And smashwords.com's books aren't DRM'd. And they tend to have free samples, sometimes up to 50% of the book.
Small publishers with an ebook branch tend not to use DRM (because it's expensive, and they don't understand the tech), but they also tend to release everything in PDF.
(Hm, maybe I should put together a post about non-DRM ebookstores?)
