I just bought a used PRS-505, owner cant deauthorize :(
I was trying to deauthorize from my new account but it would just freeze the ebook library.
The previous owner tried to deauthorize but it just says processing but it doesn't seem like it is going to finish. |

Call or email Sony support, they should be able to fix you up quickly.

well, it wasn't so bad. I had to press the reset button for 10 seconds, then volume + & bookmark button for one minute and that resets the drm in the unit.

You should be able to. I also bought a used one and had no problems deauthorizing the old owner and authorizing me. HTH
