I downloaded a book in Adobe PDF format from the library to my PC. I then loaded it to the 4GB SDMC on my reader using the Sony Reader software. When I tried to open it, I got a "Protected by DRM" message and it would not open. I then loaded the book to the main memory of the same reader the same way without deleting the SDMC copy. When I opened the copy on the main reader memory, it opened OK. I closed that copy and opened the copy on the SDMC and it opened OK also. I then deleted the copy on the main memory and tried to open the copy on the SDMC. It opened OK. Does anyone have any idea why or what is happening? Why can't I open an Adobe PDF book I loaded to the SDMC only?
