But if that's all you're going to do, pbooks are probably a better deal. I've done it both ways, and managing 2500 books with Calibre is less hassle than managing 25 books with the Sony software (admittedly, last year's version). As always, of course, your mileage may vary.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply Calibre was overkill. Just that if the OP just wants to be able buy a few books from Sony and read them, then Sony's software is sufficient for that purpose. I agree that Calibre has many uses well beyond what the Sony software can do though.
Having put rtf files on my Sony for a while, and now learning how to make those files into ePubs on Calibre, I discovered that Calibre's end-product looked much better on the eReaders than an rtf file does by itself. I just didn't know what I was missing all these months by not using Calibre!
