Sony LRX ebooks can't be converted, but Sony is about to switch to ePub. We assume the DRM on Sony ePub will be circumventable (like other Adobe ePubs), and if so Calibre can convert DRM-free ePubs to MOBI for the Kindle.
Similarly, if you own a Kindle 1/2/DX then the DRM on AZW ebooks can be circumvented and the resulting DRM-free MOBI (AZW is essentially the same as MOBI) can be converted by Calibre to ePub for your Sony. Note that some Kindle ebooks are in the TOPAZ format, that is locked to the Kindles. These tend to be ebooks that are exclusive to the Kindle.
