There is 1 and exactly 1 circumstance when a company has a right to reach into my hardware and remove something-- and that is when I explicitly ask them to. There are no other circumstances.

Up until a month ago, all my e-book reading has been on old PDAs, so for years I've been used to having to modify the format of files to get them to fit. Since I found "official" EPUB files to be horrible (double-spaced, large text even with the smallest font, far inferior to a text file or PDF of the same document as viewed on my 300) the only way I transfer files to and from my reader is via drag and drop from Windows Explorer, so Sony not only has no say over what's on my reader, they have no knowledge.
