Someone used Caecilia 85 Heavy on their Kobo Touch recently and compared it to the Kindle 3. I know it's not the Sony, but it might give you a place to start, font-wise.

The PDF attachment at the end of post #1 in this thread may help get you started.

Another font which is quite similar to the Kindle's Caecilia is LexiaDaMa.

If you can access your Kindle's .ttf font files you could copy them to your Sony and use them using the technique described in the PDF.

Hmm i just installed prs+ but I've sold my Kindle already. I take it the Kindle fonts are copyright & cannot be shared / uploaded here ?

will they be on my PC somewhere as I have K for PC installed ?

There are numerous sites offering free versions of the Caecilia font, not sure how legal they actually are though so you use at your own risk.
