Today it is still the case that many decisions about hardware are made based on what software or what format eBooks are supported. Many folks use a PC specifically to run certain programs even today and the same is true of eBook devices.

Well, I'm still confused then, I suppose.
According to Sony:
Media Formats Supported
* DRM Text : BBeB Book (Marlin)
* Image : JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP
* Unsecured Audio : MP3 and AAC7
* Unsecured Text : BBeB, ePub, TXT, RTF, Adobe® PDF10, Microsoft® Word (Conversion to the Reader requires Word installed on your PC)
Perhaps this product description is out of date, although the new reader won't even ship until mid-November.
