If you have a Sony reader, it is true. You don't need the Sony software to use the reader generally (I got along just fine with Calibre or simple drag-and-drop). But if you want to check out library books you need to have Overdrive, the Sony software, *and* ADE installed. But in use you only need to open and use the ADE--everything else is in the background.
