So now that the wife and I have made the switch to non-proprietary, we have run into a roadblock with our Sony PRS-300s everywhere we turn. Kindle has an incompatible DRM-signed book that I'd have to un-sign to convert in Calibre, and Sony's elibrary doesn't recognize my reader (because it's running out of a fake C drive).
Can someone please tell me how to set it up such that:
-I don't have to pirate windows
-I don't have to dual-boot
-I don't have to use VMware
-My wife can buy and transfer new books once I've configured it
-I can buy books from somewhere that has a reasonably amazon/sony-sized store

Answers like "google is your friend" or "you can't do it" really won't help. I've already spent an afternoon searching.
