No true. Sony will read the PDF. But certainly not the best choice. ePub would be the choice to go with if you want a DRMed format.

ePub may be the future, but wrapped with Adobe DRM it is pretty crippled.

Your best bet is to buy the LIT version, deDRM it and convert it to LRF or ePUB for your Sony. This would also make it much more future proof.
