Hi wrenn1, I don't think I can adequately answer all your questions, but I'll do my best to answer the ones I can... (Note, I don't own a Sony eReader, just a Kobo).

I don't think it will make any difference. I assume your daughter would use either Calibre, the Sony software, or Adobe Digital Editions to transfer books to her Sony eReader. I can't speak for the Sony software, but the other two have Mac versions.

Are your books protected by Adobe DRM? If they are I think you'll need to authorise the Sony with Adobe Digital Editions as well. (I'm a bit hazy on the whole DRM thing, but I think that's the way it works). You can use Calibre to transfer the books to the Sony, but the Sony will need to be authorised with ADE or you won't be able to open/read the books on the Sony.
As Dreams has already mentioned, if you authorise the Sony eReader using
your ADE account it might make things tricky if your daughter buys some books herself, since the device is linked to
your Adobe ID.
If the books are not DRM protected then you should just be able to dive straight in with Calibre, you probably don't need to use the Sony software.

I don't think Calibre has any concept of 'accounts' and I'm almost certain you can manage multiple devices with Calibre.
Someone who owns both devices, or with better knowledge of ADE and DRM than me might be able to answer your questions more adequately!
