I contacted Fictionwise to ask how they were progressing in converting their Multiformat books to lrf format and received the reply below yesterday afternoon.
Fictionwise started uploading Sony Reader files for MultiFormat titles last week.
Most of the MultiFormat titles published in the past year have Sony Reader files available now, and we are a little less than half-way through the process of creating .LRF files for our 16,000-title archive ... we hope to have Sony Reader files available for all our MultiFormat titles soon.
MultiFormat titles with Sony Reader files available will display [Sony Reader (LRF)] in the "Available eBook Formats" list on the eBook page.
This is an example of a MultiFormat eBook available in Sony Reader
format:

At this time, the Sony Connect store is the only place to purchase secure eBooks for the Sony Reader. Sony has not indicated any interest in changing this policy.
Thanks!
Best regards,
