Adobe may do just about anything with the Sony version, but the Windows version of DE will read PDF and epub formats. The PDF is supposed to be either normal PDF or the encrypted ebook variety. As for epub, this is the new, reflowable ebook standard from IDPF (Adobe is a member).
Support for epub on the Sony should be a big deal, as it provides not only another ebook format, but one that is based on open standards (XHTML, CSS, etc.). Currently, epub has no DRM, as that has not been incorporated into the standard yet.
Although epub is new, you can already download epub ebooks from some sites. The most notable so far is Feedbooks. Thanks to Hadrien for supporting this new standard.
