I'm learning also, so more experienced members please let me know if I understand this correctly.
I believe the simple answer to petercreasey's question is no.
- Calibre only works with converts books that do not have DRM. Edit: added -> You can use Calibre as a library for all your books (DRM and nonDRM).
ADE books are restricted (they have DRM).
Sony book store books have DRM.
- Your Sony Reader Library and ADE work with the exact same log in and password.
Your Sony Reader is authorized to the Reader Library and ADE.
You can install Reader Library and ADE on the other computer (make sure to use the same log in and password as the other computer) and authorize that computer, if you want to have your books on that computer also.
EDIT: Question for Calibre users.. Is the below true?
It is probably best not to run Calibre and Sony Reader Library at the same time.
Liberating / removing DRM requires some skill (although once it is set up and you have done it for a while, it apparently is pretty easy) I haven't tried it as of yet.
I hope some of that information helped. I'm sure some experienced members will let us know if something was not correct.
