I am in Taiwan, and I can verify that the 950 downloads google books directly to the machine, but you have to update it to the new firmware first.
Another thing is that while some books may have both pdf and epub format for download, on 950 you can only download the epub format (or so it seems on the book that I tried.)

ps. I do set my account region to the us, though I do not have a us credit card and cannot purchase books (non-free ones) from the sony store directly. So for google books, just setting your region in the us should be enough.
