Some success.

To install books that are not DRM-corrupted, I can simply copy them to the device or use calibre on Linux.

But the only way I can get DRM-corrupted files onto my Reader in readable form is to run Sony's Reader Library software under real Windows (which I run under VirtualBox).

I haven't even been able to run the inept python scripts (to remove the corruption) because they are extremely Windows-centric. Though I eventually expect to learn enough python to modify them into something more generic.
