... no? I'm not sure why this misconception is so prevalent. Books bought from the Sony Reader Store are EPUBs with Adobe ADEPT DRM, just like Kobo, Diesel, BooksOnBoard, Borders, and just about every other bookstore that sells EPUBs other than B&N and Apple. Perhaps you're both thinking of Sony's proprietary BBeB format, which has been discontinued for some time now.
