Supposedly you can use the MobiDeDRM.py script to remove the DRM from AZW format and you can use it to remove the DRM from Mobipocket format eBooks that will then work on the Kindle. And then there is Igorsk's script to allow Mobipocket eBooks with DRM to be used on the Kindle.

As for the Sony, you can get Mobipocket, remove the DRM and convert. Same thing with MS Reader format. And MS Reader format converts easily enough to Mobipocket for the Kindle.
