If that next update is going to use the ADE 3.0 DRM and you don't want that, then this is indeed correct.

Would that be right?

Can Sony Readers (the device, not the program) download an EPUB, when you put the ASCM on the reader?
In that case, it will keep downloading EPUBs with the old DRM, until Sony updates the device. Then, you'd either not update, or wouldn't use it to download the EPUB.
Why do you use Sony Reader? My suggestion would be to just use ADE 2.x as long as it will run, and then Alf your books. Upload to the reader using Calibre.

ADE 3.x uses a new encryption scheme. This will make all readers and applications available today incompatible with books downloaded with ADE 3.x.
That's all there is to it.
