That, of course, depends.
What denotes a "device"? Can you de-register a device? Say, you decide to upgrade your PC - can you remove the old PC from the list?
And, of course, 6 devices is what it is today, but what about tomorrow? DRM-supporting companies (like Apple, for example) have already shown that they are quite willing to change the DRM terms, without notice, without concent and without compensation to the customers.
And what happens to your eBooks after Sony drops their online store because no one is buying DRMed eBooks?
All in all, like you said:

So the DRM mess shouldn't hinder the Sony device.
