This may have been true with the old prs-500. The 500 had a separate driver it wasn't automatically recognized as a USB device. As of today any Sony ereader that reads ePub files mounts like any other USB drive and Calibre will do nothing that interferes with the Sony software recognizing the device.

This is true, if you use both Sony and Calibre to send books to your device they seem to step on each other.

Calibre will manage any ebook whether or not it is encrypted with DRM. I have used it to manage LRX and DRM'd ePubs right along side of my DRM free books. Calibre won't be able to view or convert DRM'd ebooks but it will manage them and send them to your device perfectly fine.
