I guess maybe it's their way to limit so-called piracy? piracy isn't the right word - but that they want people to pay for their books and each ahve their own device..?
For me , for example, i gave my first sony 505 to my mom in law. since she isnt' v tech savvy and is unlikely to buy ebooks, i left my ADE activation live with that unit and gave her with purchased Sony books, so she'll hv a choice of some contemporary reads with free classics.. Maybe they want to stop or limit that..!

I guess it kind of makes sense to limit the number of parallel activations.
Else you could load hundreds of readers with DRMed books and resell them.
But why is it so difficult, to leave the management of activations to the user?
Why not say: You can have 5 activations in parallel tops. Here's your account. Delete one of them and you can activate a new one.
But I guess they're worried, you'd activate, de-activate and re-activate back and forth.
Anyway, for the honest end customer it's really inconvenient.
Often I find myself regretting to actually bother to buy books. The ones from the darknet can be so much more convenient...
