This is true, but there is no particular reason to buy into all the vendor's attempts at ebook store lock-in. It is easiest to get Kindle store content onto a Kindle, but it isn't hard to get it onto a Sony. Use Calibre to manage your Sony content (its the best approach anyway). Buy for K4PC, install a DRM-stripping 3rd party Calibre plugin, and then import the K4PC ebooks and export to ePub for the Sony. The only downside is to watch out for TOPAZ ebooks in the Kindle store (they don't list their filesize), since they are harder to convert.
