Maybe. But Sony doesn't seem to offer samples.
In point of fact, I tend to download the Kindle sample on my iPhone, to decide if I'm going to buy the same book on Sony for my reader. Not sure that formatting errors would show up in that cross platform situation.
For example, I recently bought a Sony book in which some of the fonts respond to the button that makes the font larger, and some of the fonts (italics) don't respond. The Amazon sample, on my iphone, does not reveal that defect. OTOH, it clearly shows that the text is fully justified on Amazon, and looks terrible at the large font. Not so much at smaller fonts.
