Good People,

After much research regarding the nook, Kindle and Sony PRS-600 I bit the bullet and bought the Sony which should be arriving here tomorrow. Trouble is, nearly everything I've read regarding the Sony software for the thing reads like a Who's Who of software nightmares. I've read quite a bit about Calibre and have a question I haven't been able to find the answer to: Is it necessary to even install the Sony software or can I go directly to Calibre?

I ask because - using iTunes and iPods as parallels - I've thankfully avoided the mess that is iTunes with all my iPods by using Media Monkey and never dealing with iTunes. I would love to go the same route with my PRS-600. Please say it's possible!

TIA
