Aparently some time in the past I had used that address with some part of Adobe Inc! Who knows! I eventually got a password reset and my Adobe ID was set up. But...... no go!

Well the end result is that since my wife had ordered the B&N book on her compiuter and I had downloaded it to my computer where the Sony is attached, there was a mis-match and I couldn't unlock it!!!! Wrong person and wrong computer!!!!

OK, that does it! I'm heading to strip the DRM from that book and be done with it!!! PITA is right!!!
For future reference, you and your wife can share an Adobe account so that you can both read each other's books. Adobe will let you authorize six devices, so your computer and reader and her computer and reader would leave you with two remaining authorizations. Be careful with that whole authorizing/deathorizing routine. Once Adobe decides that you've authorized six devices, you have to talk to a human at Adobe and explain why you need more.
