I guess I mostly just wanted to get this into this discussion in case Mike from Overdrive ever comes back.
The Sony software has ADE embedded in it. There's generally no advantage to loading both, but if you do, they will share the same key (which is important if you strip DRM). The only cases I've found to have both installed are:
  • Sites that don't allow you to download the ACSM directly and use the ADE browser plugin (seem to be less common these days).
  • OpenLibrary.org does not seem to work with the Sony software. The ACSM loads in the Sony software, but the book will not download. I had to load ADE 2.0 to use it. I reported the issue and they were as baffled as I was.
