To be honest, I think Sony may very well be the last ones to get away with a new format.
Someone with a lot of market clout could. The only player I see on the sidelines at the moment that looks poised to move into the ebook reader market is Amazon and they already own Mobipocket. Mobi is well established so I expect they will stay with that one and not introduce something new.
