My Clie, long obsolete & no longer supported, still works to read the ebooks I have, and I can convert new ones to work for it. Same story with my PRS-505, which is closer to current, but still unsupported and not web-accessible. I can't put books on them if the books locked into to the cloud.

I feel certain that Sony will have the software and the appropriate drivers for your device, which will able your device to access the cloud. Sony already uses a cloud for its Playstation Network (PSN), which unfortunately, was successfully compromised by hackers, earlier this year. It showed by Sony was incompetent by keeping user's info on a simple text file, with no encryption whatsoever.
Cloud Computing is not without its weaknesses but it seems to be the direction the content providers wants us to go (iCloud, Amazon, Microsoft: Windows 8 and Windows Phone, Google) , as to remember us, members of the proletariat , that we do not own any piece of artistic work but that we ought to be feel privilege that the music, movie and book industries allows us to license the works under their conditions.
