Yeah, you can actually setup calibre to do that as well (though only from the command line at the moment). Basically you can recognize when a SONY reader is plugged in because although it is mounted as a disk drive in the OS, the OS also has the vendor and product id information of the device available to it. USB devices always make this information available to the host OS.
