The Sony eBook Library software can also titles in EPUB format, which means that you can read any of the million public domain titles Google recently made available in that format.

Hmmm, they want me to consent to let Sony "collect data from, control and/or monitor" my computers and devices when I'm running their software? No, thanks! I'll get my content elsewhere.

Yes yes but when are they bringing back the Connect music store and offering Mac support for their DRM-protected ATRAC3 format? :P
