PRS-650 De-Authorizing

terraskye · 10-12-2010, 05:24 PM

I'm returning my 650 this week. Not because I dont love it because I do but I'm in a situation where I need to use the money for something that cant be avoided. When I'm working again I'll buy another.

How to I go about de-authorizing the reader software and ADE so i can use it with another reader.
I'm keeping the books I've purchased on my laptop as I ::fingers crossed:: hope this only a short term situation. Do I even need to de-authorize anything? I plan to factory reset the reader this evening.

Thanks in advance,

For ADE:

I believe you plug in the unit and hit Ctrl-Shift-E. However, according to this thread, there isn't really a need to de-authorize anything from ADE.

For the sony software:

You prob. would like to de-authorize since you gain back an authorization allowance. To do so, open up the sony software and log into your account. I don't have the software but I believe you go to manage accounts and you can deauthorize it from there.

I have transferred DRM library books with my 505 via Sony Library, but have never actually used it to buy a book from Sony (I have no account to do so set up) - do I need to de-authorize it if I'm giving it away?
