You have to read what formats the stores sell. Some do have a format that the Sony supports like BBeB (.lrf), Text (.txt), Rich Text (.rtf), html... some don't. The Wiki lists the formats for most of the stores.
Keep in mind, even though Sony states it supports .PDF, you will usually need to convert a .PDF document to text or .rtf to enjoy it on the Sony. See the many threads there on PDF files on eBook reader.
Also, you can use the conversion tools (you can also find links to on the Wiki) to convert one format to another. So, some books may not be available in a format that the Sony supports such as MobiPocket (.mobi,.prc) or MS Reader (.lit) so you would need to convert it. Also, some stores sell DRM protected versions of these formats and can only be converted if the DRM is removed. Legality and morality of that option is left up to the reader.
I think there is also a tool/hack that allows you to read DRM protected MobiPocket files on the Kindle if you do decide to go that route.
