About a third of the content on my KDX is from non-Amazon sources.

only if they are DRM-FREE.

The Kindle is basically tied to the Amazon store for any "new" purchases. DRM-free Mobi, text, etc. will work with it or if you can strip DRM and convert it to mobi.

There are more stores that provide "standard" AdobeDE DRM Epub than just the Sony store.
