Today, I found a library to give me a card so I could check E-books. I picked an available book and went to checkout from Overdrive. I was given a option dialog of what software to use for the download, but only Sony Reader was listed. I selected that one and the download went without a hitch. I was able to read the book on my computer. I then connected my 650 and added the book to my device library. I was then able to read the book on the 650. Pretty nice.

Later I turned on calibre and found that I could not access the book on calibre. A message came up claiming a DRM error. Is this normal? Could I have downloaded the book using calibre instead of Sony Reader and then been able to view the book in the Calibre reader? Having only had the Sony for under two weeks, I am still trying to figure out all the intricacies of managing the ebook library.
