Both, separately.

Once you buy the book, you can download it to any or all of your devices. I 'm fairly sure that ADE limits you to 6 devices; the Borders app may not count towards this limit - I'm not sure.

So:
1) Buy the book.
2) On your computer, use ADE to download the book using the download link from the Borders "My eLibrary" page - using the "Download file. (Adobe Digital Edition users)" link. Put this file on your Sony.
3) On your iPad, install the Borders app. The book should just show up in your library - or
3b) If you don't like the Borders app, you should be able to use the Bluefire reader app. Someone else will have to help you at that point.

You won't be able to just take the file on the computer and put it on your iPad. DRM stops that from working. You can't do it the other way round either.
