Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM.

Those books are encrypted to only work with a Sony reader activated to the account they were purchased with.

Just like when you buy Kindle books they will be encrypted for your specific kindle.

While DRM breaking is illegal many people have no qualms about doing it because "they paid for it". However, there is no tool out there to deDRM the Sony DRM that I am aware of.
