Well first of all thanks to Cid and others for the pointer to the updated writer2latex extensions. I installed them, and sure enough, you can export to epub. So I did, using a novel I'm also using to test writer2epub.
One thing I noticed first of all was that it does not split up the text into < 300kb sections. So that may be one reason you have loading problems on your Sony device, if the file is too big. (And I don't think Calibre or Adobe Digital Editions have that size limitation, so it SHOULD be readable there, as you noted.)
I also noticed that all it seems to do is export the document in xhtml format as a single file, and produces a very simple epub wrapper for it. Thus, no separate CSS stylesheet, no splitting into bite-sized text chunks, etc. Also, non-standard names are used, such as "book.opf" instead of the more usual "content.opf."
Granted writer2latex 1.14 is still in alpha, but at this point I think you'd be better off using writer2epub, for the sake of the more refined structure of the epub it creates. BTW, The two extensions don't seem to conflict on my installation, at least. (EN versions of everything).
