Absolutely. The only time I use the Sony software is to purchase an ebook from the Sony website. I do recall it acting a little hinky when I was playing with it at first. You could try to exit from the software and then restart it -- I think I recall resolving a similar problem that way.

But for full and easy management of my ebook library, I use Calibre. I use it to add the Sony ebook to my library from its location in the My Documents folder, edit metadata, tags, etc., sometimes do an epub-to-epub "conversion" to improve flow on the Reader, etc., as well as to send ebooks to or delete them from my Reader. It also handles the formal USB disconnect from my computer.
