If the reader is registered to your old account, she needs to get her PC authorized and registered to the SAME account, BEFORE she purchases any more books, because dealing with books with multiple DRM keys is a nightmare.

She must have a different DRM registration key on the PC and PRS-700 now, or she would be able to send the books she is downloading to the reader and read them.

Since the new books have a different DRM key, to get these new books to read on the PRS-700, she would have to reset and re-authorize the device with the new key on her PC, but then she would loose the book that are now on the reader.

A MUCH BETTER IDEA, WOULD BE TO RE-AUTHORIZE HER PC SO IT IS ALSO USING YOUR ORIGINAL ACCOUNT REGISTRATION, and then buy and download books registered to that account.

That way everything will match up.

Hopefully you can change the credit card billing info etc to transfer the account to her.

The only other alternative is to get the PRS-700 back temporarily, drag the books back off the reader into a folder on your PC and use a DRM stripping script to to make them universally readable, then drag them back onto her PRS-700 after she resets and re-authorizes the device.
