The simple answer is no, you can't copy DRM books to your reader and use them without going through certain specific steps... you need ADE and/or the Sony software to register your device and authorise it. Most people then authorise at least their computer and reader then when you purchase a DRM'd book you can read it on your computer and any other authorised device.

Assuming that I respect the publisher's wishes and do not break the DRM, can I just copy the DRM encrusted book to my Sony device with Calibre (or the cp command) and read it?
This is the crucial question that no one seems to be able to answer.
