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.
You did leave out one native format for the Sony. You left out BBeB. Lef is the DRM free version and LRX is with DRM. And if we have the same PRC/Mobi that the Kindle can handle, we can use mobi2lrf to easily convert it over so it can be read on the Sony. Samne with lit2lrf for DRM free MS Reader format. Also, eBook Library will take DOC and convert to RTF on the fly as long as the version of MS Office you have supports that version of DOC.
