Yes and No . . .

YES, the Barnes and Nobel books are internally in a standard EPUB format, so they can be made compatible with other EPUB compatible reader devices like the Sony Readers, but NO they are not readable on any of the Sony Readers as Downloaded from Barnes and Nobel because B&N's DRM format is different than Sony's.

To make B&N's books compatible with your other EPUB devices, you would have to strip off this proprietary DRM layer leaving a standard EPUB, and there is a free tool called 'ignoble' available on the internet to do this, but providing help in removing DRM (even from your legally purchased titles) is a big bozo-no-no, so we can't give you a direct link or assistance with this software on this forum.

. . . In any case, since someone was kind enough to check the availability of this title at the Sony Store, the simpler solution would be to just purchase it there.
