Many publishers require DRM, and the only place to get DRMed e-books for Sony and Kindle are the Sony Store and Amazon.com respectively. For the Kindle there is a hack that allows some DRMed MOBI files from a few e-book sites to work. The other option is to buy DRMed LIT e-books and break the DRM. The LIT format is one of the most feature rich, and is easily converted to DRM-free e-books for Sony or Kindle.
