Perhaps the real question is not whether the software is difficult to use or install, but if it does what you NEED it to do. I have installed and used mine. It worked ok...but had some glitches to it that drove me crazy.
Using the Sony s/ware, I put a group of books on my reader. I create a collection. I order the collection from first to last. HOWEVER, the books show up in my reader, under collection name, in whatever order they were dragged/downloaded. Not even in ALPHABETICAL order, which I could have worked with. But order of d/l to the library. Unbelievable.
That is to say nothing of the incorrect metadata and inability to fix it issues. I didn't WANT to use Calibre. I figured that the Sony software couldn't be that bad. But, after accidentally leaving my reader plugged in when shutting off my computer (or unplugging my reader without telling the s/w I was doing it or something equally goofy), and losing ALL my collections, (twice) I gave up. Not worth the headache.
I use my Sony software to get to the store ONLY. D/L what I want to buy. Copy the file to my personal library storage, rename it of course, use Calibre to tag/series it and put it on the book. MUCH more reliable.
