I think not always special software will be necessary.
Isn't it one time operation - to register your device and then you can drag and drop any DRM books that are binded to this registered Adobe DRM account?

Still, it's a pity that only way to buy books on Sony ebook store is to use its program. But other places where they sell Adobe DRM's epub books they ask to download a file with meta information. You can open it with Adobe's Digital Editions or Sony's Library , but you can also download the file and open it with text editor where location of actual epub is written. For me I have been able to download epub file directly.

So, in brief I register my device only once and never ever use that Sony' s software (unless I want to buy from its store.. )
