Ok, I think the connection error I was getting was because I had a different email address for my Adobe ID compared to the Sony US eBook store. (Great error message, not!)
I've changed them to be the same, and now I get a pop-up asking for my Adobe ID and password, but it refuses to accept them. I even went so far as to change the password to be the same between the Store and my Adobe ID. Nada. It always displays an error code (-50504) and asks for the details again.
As a last resort I upgraded the reader to the latest firmware (-really- hoping I won't start seeing the freezing/touchscreen problems reported by others), but still no joy.
I give up. Maybe when the reader store gets launched here in the UK I'll give it another shot; in the meantime, I'll enjoy DRM-free ebooks.

PS. @carpetmojo: you've got Windows; I'm sure if I had access to a Windows PC which is NOT behind a corporate firewall I might have more luck. But the point is, it should be possible to use this bleeding thing without needing several hundred quids worth of other equipment!!!
