Yes. Sony uses Adobe Mobile Edition to display epubs that have no DRM. Some other readers might use fbreader or similar program to display DRM free epubs, but they also normally support a lot more formats than the Sony readers.

I don't know about the current fbreader versions, but I've heard that it can be rather slow when it comes to epubs.
