-rw-r--r-- 1 root admin 418 18 Nov 18:42 com.sony.ReaderLibrary.RunReaderLibrary.plist


So I would search your system for those files and move them someplace else. Then restart your system.

Thank you! That was the half of the problem that I was missing! I know how to disable daemons, but I'm not well versed in OS X yet and don't know where anything is. For anyone else who wants to prevent launchd from starting the service, just run these commands from Terminal:

cd /Library/LaunchAgents
launchctl unload -w com.sony.ReaderLibrary.ReaderLibraryLauncher.plist

To let the service start up again:
sudo launchctl load com.sony.ReaderLibrary.ReaderLibraryLauncher.plist

If you disable it this way, then if you ever run the uninstaller, you won't run into any errors. Oh, the uninstaller is here by the way:

/Library/Reader Library/uninstall-ReaderLibrary.sh
