ISTM the main issue with the age of the RMDSK used would be the rendering in the Reader software itself but once the file has been downloaded you can read it elsewhere, in another app registered to the same id or in a physical reader - which is the goal here.
The issue is that in some places, the ePub will not download because the version of RMSDK is too old. You need ADE 2.0.1 to be sure of downloading everything you want. Plus, the Sony software is bloatware for your use.
