It's not just Sony that would have to allow it.
Amazon owns the app and would have to do the port. Can you really see Amazon porting the Kindle app to a device made by an arch-competitor?
And the Sony Reader, B&N nook, and Amazon Kindle all have the ebook viewer software in firmware. The Kindle app for PC, iPhone, iPad and Android is an
app, that can be installed on a device that does other things as well.
Adding the capability to read Mobipocket format ebook files to the Sony Reader would require a firmware upgrade.
I
really don't see this happening.
