The final firmware replaces the Sony store with Kobo, so there is nothing weird about using Sony's software.

Install Sony Reader for PC (https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model...d#/downloadTab).

When you plug in your reader you can then set up it's DRM with your Adobe account. (If you need more details let me know, it's pretty simple). You can also set up a Kobo account.

You can uninstall the Sony software afterwards if it isn't something you want. I use Calibre.

I do have Adobe Digital Editions on my PC using the same DRM as three PRS-T1's in my place. So a book pulled down from one reader or from my PC can be shared across all of them.

Same for Overdrive library loans.

A warning, once the Sony Reader software is on your PC (even if you uninstall it) it leaves something behind in the registry(?) If you reinstall Sony Reader on the same PC and plug in another unregistered PRS-T1 it will automatically (that is without even asking you) register that reader with your previously entered Adobe account.
