Sony needs to get out of the content business, and turn it over to, loathe though I am to say it, Amazon. I should be able to register my Sony Reader with Amazon, and download their "Kindle edition" books in LRF format.
Alternatively, if Sony really wishes to compete with Amazon, then they should price their books the same as or better than Amazon. Amazon, I'm told, subsidizes lower prices on some titles by their sells sales of other content (printed books). Sony, which is a huge electronics giant, could certainly subsidize lower prices on content, as well.
