No, Sony is not one of the companies that has chosen to support the second Adobe DRM format - Sony chooses not to allow you to read it. Probably because Sony wants to "encourage" you to buy from their store instead. If they could be bothered to update to the current Adobe SDK, it could. That's Sony's decision, just like it is Amazon's decision not to support any type of epub.
You can, however, go ahead and read your ebook on the Pandigital Novel just fine. And as more companies use the current Adobe DRM SDK, more readers will be able to read them. Companies will have to actively go out of their way to not support the format.
