They won't. The Kindle uses the Mobipocket ebook format, which is not supported on the Sony Reader. You would need to convert the Mobi book to LRF or ePub that the Sony Reader supports, and DRM would get in the way.

And as mentioned, you can't even buy a Kindle book unless you have a Kindle with a device PID registered at Amazon.
