Sony's decision to open up the reader to outside formats makes it a winner in my book because it really is about content and not being locked into a format that can only be used on a single device.
It does, as mentioned by other posters above. But ePub is a young format and I don't think there's much, if any, content that available only as ePub (I could be wrong about that). Also, any non-DRM ePub files can be converted to the Kindle. I don't, at the moment, see ePub being an advantage for Sony, that may well change in time.
