I believe that the problem is that currently to buy books from sony you need the Ebook library software installed, and it is only available for windows.
Similarly Adobe DE for Mac cannot authorise the reader without the software, so you can't buy protected files from other sources as well.

That's one of the strengths of the Mobi / eReader format that they don't require a program to be installed to buy and load books on a device. If Sony could implement such a system, it would probably silence a large part of the complaints.
