I never used calibre for this either.
Never had any issue in many years of use, T1, T2 or T3.
Only when the books are to be replaced (updated versions) one may have some issues, in particular when other items have been added, like handwritten notes. I therefore delete the books I intend to replace via it's own method, then drag'n'drop the new ones.
If the books are encrypted, I decrypt them before.

Out of morbid curiosity (or stupidity) I decided to try synch my T1 with Reader for PC. The T1 was instantly recognized and began to synch. However, upon ejecting no books were actually transferred and the T1 froze. A soft reset cleared things up and decided to try it once again. In manual synch unchecked books and tried to synch audio to the T1. After 20 minutes had to eject since it seemed "stuck". Ejected and then tried the last time to synch only pictures. It worked and my black and white pictures look good on the T1. Don't think I'll try using the Reader for PC again as this experience reminded me why so many people hated this sony software in the first place.
Regarding your drag n drop method does this method work with picture and audio files on the T1?
