Thanks.
I should think so. But I don't actually have a Sony to confirm, so I cannot say from experience how you authenticate your Sony.

EDIT: After checking the help guide on OverDrive: http://help.overdrive.com/customer/p...-t1-or-prs-t2-

It sounds like you will have to authorize your device with an ID, either through your Sony Account:

Quote:
  1. From your home screen, tap Reader Store.
  2. If this button isn't there, the Reader Store may not be available in your country. Continue to the next method.
  3. Tap Create Account.
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to create your account. This creates and registers an Adobe ID for you with the same credentials.
Or through the Sony Reader software if the Store isn't available in your country. Why, really?? In any event, it sounds as though all The Reader software does is the same as ADE does -- register your Sony with an ID.

An ID is apparently required.

Afterwards, it sounds as though you can download directly as normal; just go to the library, checkout a book, and Download: Adobe EPUB eBook. You will download the ACSM license, and your Sony Device will use the AdobeID installed by either Sony Reader or ADE to verify and download the book.
