Obviously you can't buy any books from the Sony store without the Sony Reader software but there are plenty of other ePub bookstores. I use Calibre to organize my library. It works better than the Reader software anyway.

The software for Windows PCs is nothing to write home about either; I've only used if for doing a firmware update (and it probably wasn't even necessary for that).
I'm not sure why you say you can't use the Sony Reader store; I've downloaded directly to my PRS-T1 without having to use a PC at all. I've also downloaded books from the Kobo store and from my local public library, mostly without any problems. (In rare cases where this failed, I simply downloaded the files to the Dropbox folder on my PC and then imported them into my PRS-T1 using the Dropbox mobile website.)
