Bought .lrx books, can't authorize PRS-600 from store
As a test for my new reader, I bought a couple of books from Sony's store which ended up being .lrx format. Despite some weird behaviour in the Sony Library 3.0, the books were purchased easily and I can read them on the PC. But when I try to drag them onto the Reader, it tells me that I need to authorize it and asks me to log in. But the login fails and I can't get it to complete. The error message is "Unable to access eBook store. Check your network settings... -5"
Now I'm stuck with books I can't read. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Had I known the books were not in epub format I would have never bothered. |

I have a similar problem only that I can get it on the reader but it gives me a 'protected' message when I try to open it on the reader.

Just a quick thought have you upgraded the firmware for the Reader ?

Hi and welcome to the forum!
It happened to me too when I tried to register the 600. Apparently they didn't fix the glitch... The best way to proceed is to go under "My Account" in EBL and then go a bit down, where you'll find the link for the devices. |

Haesslich, I had tried everything you mentioned except restarting my computer. I had ejected the Reader from the Library/Store, restarted the Library/Store, relogged in but nothing worked.
And the firmware was updated several days ago. This worked for me. |

Well, you weren't the only one who missed that, so it's no big deal. Glad to see you got it authorized, though - I've had similar issues with MobiPocket-enabled devices (PDA's), so the automated method here is a step up.

Sony still needs to put a lot of work into that Library/Store software. I still can't access any of the free Google books from the store.

Hi guys,
I joined this forum especially to say thank you. My device is fully authorized now. It was very easy when I clicked on "My Account" and fixed it from there. Cheers, Bazil |
