Checking books out of libraries involves yet another program, which evidently also requires ADE.
I get a free book from the University of Chicago each month. It can only be read on the Sonys, and always implicates ADE.

You don't have to use ADE at all if you're happy with the Sony software. For anyplace that offers books with Adobe DRM (Kobo, Books On Board, Overdrive Libraries) books can be downloaded directly into Sony's software (open the acsm file with the Sony software instead of ADE). Same goes for Adobe DRM'd freebies from places like U of Chicago. No other programs are need for library books (just the Sony software OR ADE).
