They have THE best format for Sony Reader.
Nice, plain, well formated rtf file *without* the DRM crap.
You see, the Reader can - unlike Kindle - read txt or rtf of pdf files directly, without conversion.
You can load rtf file directly to you reader, or, even better, you can load it into OpenOffice.org Writer or other word processor (like MS Word), format it to your taste and save as rtf file. That is what *I* personally like to do.
Just a minor correction: Kindle CAN read txt files directly. I have used this feature myself. No fancy formatting because it's a .txt file after all, but text reads fine on the kindle without any conversion. Just drag it on the kindle...
