Everything "Just Works" ™ – as long as you are updated to the latest Sony firmware that interacts properly with Kobo.

You must have had absolutely no idea what I said. I guess you must not have known, but here it is -- a number of Kobo ebooks are sold exclusively as KEPUBs. The Sony cannot read KEPUBs. Thus you are 100% incorrect.
There have been several threads here ranting about it, specifically in relation to Sony, and more in relation to generically buying for the EPUBs, to use with Alf and calibre and third-party ereaders (and even Kindle).
MR members have spent long periods of time arguing with Kobo CS to return these useless (for their purposes) ebooks, and some have vowed to stick with Google even.
It has made a huge stink, especially when they removed the available formats info from the website so people don't know what they are getting into.
Sheeesh, I know this and I don't even own an EPUB reader.
