I wouldn't completely write off getting at least a refund, or if your lucky a replacement. Don't go through Sony for repair, approach the vendor that you purchased the device from. In the UK the Sales of Good Act states that vendors not makers of the product are responsible for ensuring the product works for amazingly up to 7 years. Im not sure where you hail from but you might have a similar customer protection situation.
Play.com honored this after a bit of enlightenment at 11 months, which is after the 6 month guarentee that they tried to fall back on. I quoted the Sales of Goods act and with a little hesitation they organised for a courier to pick up my device at no additional cost. I even managed to match the cost I brought my reader at (£179) as Waterstones still have a few in stock.
