3. Use ConvertLit to strip DRM from book.
4. Use Calibre to convert book to LRF format.
5. (Do I need to transfer the converted book to my Sony Library?)

My main question is: Do I need to download and install MS Reader? On the Books On Board website, it said I need to download MS Reader before downloading my book.... I hate having extra programs on my computer if I'm never going to use it.

Thanks
You will need to import the newly created lrf file from Calibre into your Ebook Library. I think there is a way to get Calibre to recognize your reader but I have not used it as it is just as easy to import the file using the Library software. Good Luck!!
