Yes, when you download Adobe Digital Editions and install it, you create an account with username and password and register your computer and reader with the account. It needs an internet connection and not much else.
To get it all to work I think you also need to register your reader with sony, I think this is a one off thing on a windows machine, but I can't remember now exactly what I did.
You will need Adobe Digital Editions to be working if you buy ebooks from UK bookstores, as it handles epub files with DRM, which is what Waterstones and others usually offer for sony readers. Also for some of the books from US stores, although not from the sony store.
