Sony actually uses a precursor to Adobe's Mobile Reader SDK, what we here popularly call "ADE's engine", from Adobe Digital Editions which is a desktop application. But the version on the Sony is really old.

And Adobe makes InDesign too, and I'm told that uses the same paragraph algorithm as TeX. So theoretically, we could see something very nice in the future.

Don't hold your breath though.
