Also when I installed the Sony Reader software, one of my "monitoring for useless crap" programs brought up the message that the Sony Reader wanted to make itself an auto-start program, meaning everytime you booted up your PC, Sony Reader would also start up. Make sure you do not allow that, or find where it starts up from and stop it. There's absolutely no reason why any reader software needs to be running nonstop on your system hogging resources.
But I run only Calibre now to maintain my library and to transfer everything to my reader. I have downloaded some books through the Sony Reader also and there's no conflict. Just don't have them both running at the same time is the only caution I've heard.
If you want to keep Calibre and your reader in sync, once you get the purchased book on your reader and shut down Sony software, disconnect reader, then start Calibre, plug in your reader, and you'll be able to transfer from the reader to your Calibre library. I haven't run into any DRM issues yet, but like Amazon I suspect some books do not have DRM and possibly the ones I selected are free of it.
