I did some fiddling my first time out with Overdrive and if I'm remembering events correctly, discovered this oddity:

If you load the book to the reader using Sony/ADE software, then connect the reader to Calibre, you can copy the book from the reader to your Calibre library. If you delete the book from the reader at that point, you can re-add it from Calibre and it will work fine, but you lose the countdown to expiration in the book list.

I think. I was rushed and got fairly confused when I played with this but I think that's the sequence of events I went through. Even though you don't have the countdown showing, the book will still expire, and I didn't see enough value in it to pursue whether it really happens the way I think it does. (I like the countdown and don't use the metadata so much.) If you wanted to do your metadata editing without stripping the DRM, this might be a way to do so.
