Not really. The reader only needs to be authorized once via Adobe Digital Editions or Sony Reader. Once that's done, you can use Windows Explorer, Dolphin, etc to copy DRM'ed books to the reader. The only time you'd need to use ADE or Sony Reader is when downloading newly purchased books or activating a new reader.

I skimmed through the Terms of Use and nowhere was it written that you'd have to give them your real name. As I recall, when I signed up, putting in the address was optional. Perhaps they've changed their policy on addresses since then? Oh well, don't think you need to actually give your own address, though. And no, your Adobe ID isn't linked to BooksOnBoard, Fictionwise, Kobo, etc. Books are authorized/downloaded when you open the .acsm file which is a separate procedure from the actual purchasing of ebooks from various ebook stores.
