- Calibre can copy a DRM protected file to a Sony Reader, but it can't unlock it. You get a 'protected page' error on the device when you try to read it. If you use Sony's software to copy the file over it works fine

Hope that answers your questions.

If the Sony Reader is authorized to an Adobe account, Calibre can transfer DRMed EPub to the reader and the reader will open it succesfully. I've done this myself on Linux without the Sony software installed. If you buy an Epub do you get the mobile app version of the book, too? What about vice versa?
