Without a registered Kindle, you must read the book on the computer, defeating the purpose of an e-ink reader.
As Phil_C states, you don't need to onw a Kindle, you just need to use the Kindle for PC (or Kindle for Mac) app and that downloads the books onto your computer. You can then let Apprentice Alf do his stuff along with Calibre and you can then read the book on your Sony.
