But, here is a nubie question:

I'd like to get the ebook version of The God Delusion as well. It is available from the Sony Store, but want to load it on my Iliad.

I've never bought an ebook from the Sony Store, and am wondering if my assumption that I can purchase the ebook, then strip the DRM and load it on my Iliad (as prc maybe,) is correct?

If the above is possible, is the formatting retained?

It's not possible. No one has yet devised a tool to de-DRM Sony books.

Incidentally, the forum at Richard Dawkins' website has noticed the Sony extract and people there wondered when the complaints would start rolling in. It's here:

Their homepage here http://richarddawkins.net/
has a link (on Amazon) to the extract which was the stimulus for this thread.
