Congrats on getting a new reader!

I'm assuming you have DRM'd content that you want to read on the new reader.

I've upgraded a few times. Here's what's worked for me:

1. de-authorize the old reader in the Sony software before selling it. If you use ADE, there's a key combo to deauthorize it (something like Alt+Shift+E, sorry I don't recall exactly but if you do a search you'll find it).

2. When you get your new reader, hook it up to the same computer you've been using (the computer is authorized for your DRM'd content). The Sony software should locate the reader and authorize it, allowing you to transfer your content.

I hope that helps.
