I looked a bit at the online user manual and it has stuff about converting books, but it's not clear to me if that's what I should try to do.
You could try the following, download Sigil, open one of the DRM-free books with encoding problems with it and click the large green check mark in the Sigil toolbar or press F7 to check for errors. If Sigil doesn't find any errors and all typographical quotes are being displayed correctly in Book View mode, press F8 and add and delete a space somewhere to trigger the change indicator and save the .ePub file. (This should fix any encoding issues.)

Then transfer the file to your Sony to see if the text is being displayed correctly.
