I doubt very much that anything is going to be business as usual for the Sony store account. They're closing down. They're done.

I expected no support. However according to the Sony FAQs they are going to release one last update to make the Reader desktop and some eink models directly compatible with the Kobo store. I was surprised!

In late March, we will release an update to the Reader for PC/MacŪ software that will enable you to directly connect to the Kobo Store for future purchases. You can use the software then to also transfer the titles via USB to any of your Reader models from Sony .
In late May 2014, Kobo will launch a version of its eBook Store that you will be able to access directly from your Wi-Fi Reader (PRS-T1, PRS-T2, and PRS-T3) from Sony .
The Reader PRS-900 and PRS-950 devices will no longer have direct access to an eBook store after Reader Store closes. However, any eBooks purchased from Kobo can still be loaded onto your device via USB transfer.
