That's exactly the reason!

I once bought a used REB1200 and the "freely available" .imp ebooks provided by Gemstar/ETI had another units encrypted User ID and those ebooks on the external card would not load using my User ID. No loss though since they were "free" ones, but it's the same idea.

If the ebooks were encrypted using a different User ID (even using the same eBookwise 1150/REB 1200), then they will not open if they were "secure" .imp ebooks. Isn't DRM "wonderful" ; albeit in this case you are allowed to migrate your purchases to your new User ID (once), so it's not as restrictive and thus tolerable!
