You can use most sites that sell epubs for your Sony reader, however Barnes & Nobles uses their own DRM that is not compatible with the Sony readers. If you want to be able to read ebooks from B&N you will have to remove the DRM from your purchases.

Regarding the applications, Sony has it's own library application and to use library books you will need Adobe Digital Editions on your computer. That being said, I don't use the Sony software at all, I use Calibre to manage my library and put books on my reader.
