Preparing PRS-600 for sale

alstein · 02-01-2011, 02:00 PM

I am considering selling my PRS-600 and replacing it with the PRS-650. Currently I have about 50 books on my reader. Is there a specific procedure I need to follow so that when the reader is shipped, my books are not showing up on the reader. Also, when I install my new reader will it find my library on my PC?

Two things.

Delete the books from the reader, and also deauthorize it from your account. You can delete the books using a simple File Manager, or using the Reader Library software. To deauthroize the reader, hook to your computer, go to the Sony Store in Reader Library and go into your account settings. It will show authroized devices, and deauthroize that reader.

Your new reader will see your library, but you will need to authorize it to your account to read DRM protected books on it.

Thanks very much.

I am prepping to sell my PRS-600 as well, but for some reason I don't have the option to deauthorize my device... only my Reader Library. Any suggestions?

Also.. will I be able to put my eBook purchases on my new device? I bought them in kobo.
