I usually download my purchased books directly to ADE and then I connect my PRS-300 to the computer and drag and drop the book from ADE to the PRS-300 tab to transfer to my reader. You need to use ADE to open and transfer books to your reader with DRM protection. I usaually just upload all my purchased books to ADE as rule because most of the sites I buy from have DRM books.
If your purchased books do not have DRM you could download them to your PC. Open calibre and go to the add file tab, select the book from your PC to add it to the calibre library. Once the files are in calibre you can connect your device to the PC and then select send to device, and the books will be put onto your reader.
If you have any unprotected books on your PC in a format that the reader can handle you can use calibre to transfer them to the reader as I described above. If you have any DRM free books already on your PC which are not in a format accepted by your reader you can use calibre to convert them to an apporpriate format and then put them on your device.
Well you can back up your purchases and then download ADE on your new PC, authorise it and then you will be able to read your old purchases on the new PC and obviously any new ones you make.

I just bought a new laptop today so will download both Calibre and ADE again to the new laptop. Do I need to set up a new ADE account with this new Laptop or just use the same account but merely authorize the new laptop?
Secondly, does that mean if the book I buy is ePub format and DRM protected I just use the ADE and need not use the Calibre at all? My books will all be recent release. Probably the oldest one may be no more than 5 years old popular novels. So I assume those will all be DRM protected?
Thanks so much guys for all your helps! I think now with both new Sony laptop and ebook readers (both new to me I may have taken too much on my hand!).
