Are you sure that's correct? One of the plusses I've seen touted for the Sony Readers is their support of DRM-ed ePub format allowing purchases from third-party sites. And non-DRM ePub support should mean that it is possible to read public domain books from all the sites that provide them (Gutenberg, etc.).

But since I'm happy with my Kindle I haven't paid a lot of attention to the Sony Reader line of products (no wireless book purchasing means they don't meet my minimal requirements, though I'm open to moving away from Kindle).

ETA: This message board thread has people talking about getting books onto their Reader from non-Sony stores.
