People are really critical of SONY's own software - Reader. I, for one, don't really mind it. While it certainly does not have the flexibility of Calibre, it does the basics. It should prompt for an auto-install the first time you plug the reader - I would give it a shot.

It is basically an interface to your device from your PC - allowing you to back up your content, upload it from your PC, access the SONY store and Google books, manage your annotations, and a few other things.

It is somehow limited in terms of organizing content (folders, collections, etc>) and it does not allow to manipulate ebooks - but, if you are new at this, chances are you won't be doing it anyhow.
