The latest Kobo (Aura One) can borrow books from the library without needing to use a computer. It doesn't work the same way as it did on Sony models and is a little less seamless but it can be done.

Sony used to have a reputation for supporting legacy devices (such as the Walkman) by maintaining compatibility with changes in software systems.

I think the difference is Sony are completely out of the ereader market, whereas that's not true for portable music. It's unfortunate but its a bit unfair to expect Sony to provide a firmware update for a market they left 4 years ago.
