Not clear about secure ePub

Someone posted in another thread about Books on Board selling Star Trek books in secure ePub. How does this work on a Sony, exactly? Can I just buy one, download it and load it right onto my sony using Calibre? Can I somehow load it onto my iPod Touch as well? What do I need to do to unlock it---is it like eReader with using my credit card, or do I need something else? And can the DRM be removed if necessary?

Right now, I am using Secure eReader because it loads easily onto my iPod and can load onto the Sony once it has been liberated But I have found recently that my converted files don't look as nice, and a greater percentage of them are needing too much cleaning up afterward. So if secure ePub would give me current books I can just buy and load right onto the Sony and iPod (and they are in a format which, unlike the Sony, isn't proprietary) that might be a better option. But I want to make sure I can use them easily and they will be fairly future-safe. And I hate Adobe Digital Edition, it keeps trying to make me download updates and it is not useable (i.e. it won't run) unless you do.
