Because they are DRM restricted, calibre cannot convert them to other formats. However, you can use calibre to organize the books, tagging them and organizing them into series and collections, searching and sorting. Calibre can move them to and from your device. As you have a sony, you can also update the metadata and have it appear on your reader. And don't forget that there are lots of places to get DRM-free books.

That said, if you prefer the Sony software and its organizational capabilities, then by all means use that.
