I'm not sure what is meant by "severely limited". Here are the formats for the Sony and the Kindle (I've removed the proprietary formats for both).

Sony (native support)
PDF, EPUB, TXT, RTF, JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, MP3, AAC

Kindle (native support)
PRC/MOBI (non DRM), TXT, MP3, AA, JPEG, GIF
(Amazon or self-conversion) DOC, HTML, PNG, BMP and PDF

IMO, there is only one additional format that is lacking... native pdf support. There are some documents that just work better as pdf's. Mobi seems to be the dominant format and ePub has not yet come into it's own, so I don't understand what else is needed.
