PDF's have never been a good format for reading on ereaders, with the exception of those books that were specifically formatted to be read on a small screen ereader (it is possible, I have some Alice in Wonderland books that look great in PDF).
You'll have a little learning curve getting used to buying/downloading/installing ebooks, but its not that difficult. Remember that different websites will handle things differently. Oh, and Calibre can be your best friend in utilities if you have to purchase a book in one format and convert to epub for your Sony.
