I think that the Connect software itself may "emulate" on the PC, but I don't think you can get that without the Reader. Of course, once it's out, I'm sure there will be any number of home-grown PC emulators in about 15 minutes.

I also know that files formatted for a Librie' (such as those available from Manybooks.net -- the "Librie (beta)" format) look really good on the Sony Reader -- no surprise there -- so the Librie' PC emulators should give you some idea. Unfortunately, I'm not sure where to get those, nor which ones would be worth messing with, but it's something to look into....
