That's right, I forgot about that: You have to authorize the PRS505 on a PC then you can use the Adobe Online ID which you used when authorizing on an Mac with ADE, too:

However you can work around this to get DRM content portability working.
First, on the same Windows machine that you upgraded your Sony Reader, install ADE and authorize it to your AdobeID.
Next, plug in your Sony Reader and then in ADE, select the Reader and choose "Authorize Device" from the Library menu (I'm doing this from memory, and I don't have a Sony Reader to test it on right now - so the wording may be off).
At this point you have a Sony Reader which is authorized to your AdobeID. For any eBooks you purchase on the Mac (with ADE 1.5 authorized to the same AdobeID), you will be able to copy the .pdf/.epub files to your Sony Reader, using the Finder, and then be able to view then on your Sony Reader.
I agree, its ugly, and its very un-Mac like.
