I think that's a fight they'd lose. I'd much rather see Sony get out of the majority of content creation, and just go back to making excellent electronics that support all content. When they try to tie devices to specific content or formats is when they fail, historically.
I think they'd be best off making a general, beautiful ebook reader, that reads as many formats as they can possibly get licenses for, and then selling it as a platform to content vendors like Amazon.
