With the current design you can not tell while shopping at store.kobobooks.com directly. In fact some authors have taken to claiming in their title so you can be aware. Tales for a Dark Night--Book 1--an Archon DRM free anthology of horror. You should not rely on a publishers listing of DRM status, while researching for this answer I found several mentions of Kobo adding DRM when they had been specifically requested not to.

Kobo makes no attempt to notify the end user of the DRM status of the work being purchased. I found reference to Kobo using both a proprietary 'Kepub DRM' and Adobe digital editions DRM protection. It is reasonable to assume that they are not fully forth coming about all of their DRM protection formats.

As Kobo ereader use ePub file types, there are multiple shopping options to purchase works for your reader where the DRM status is clearly defined.
