Dale, I know how unix time works. There's still no way to set/adjust the time on the Cybook which makes me wonder if it's keeping track of date and time at all. Maybe it gets it from mobipocket's windows software, but that's spotty for now at best.
I'm using Linux and my wife's laptop didn't take the 6.0 -> 6.1 beta when I tried it, so I can't say for sure if the "Not active yet" issue goes away when the Cybook is recognized as a reader.

Derek, I don't necessarily intend to get lots of ebooks from the library instead of the store either, but having more options is always a good thing. And since it was my first attempt at using the Cybook for DRM encrypted books I was rather disappointed that it didn't work.
