But, instead of putting the registry key in at HKLM\Software\Sony Corporation, I put it in at HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Sony Corporation. As soon as I started Adobe Digital Editions, it detected my reader, and I could transfer to it.
I think this is the right spot because of the way Windows x64 provides access to the registry for 32 bit programs.
To put it simply, at HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Sony Corporation\PRS, I put the following string value:
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Sony\\Reader\\Data\\bin\\
Hope this helps someone!

Hmm.. I am surprised that works. If so it makes me think that they "driver" is not really a driver... but just a user mode program. Because a 32-bit driver will NOT work in 64-bit windows.
Also, if this is just a user mode program it shouldn't be to hard for Sony to port it to Mac. Of course, I am sure that is not on their radar. It would be nice if they open sourced that "driver" like they have the reader software.
