Short of stripping DRM, how can I get my PB602 to read purchased or loaned (library) books without 'downloading' every time. I have ADE on my Linux Ubuntu 10.10 desktop and when I want to read a legitimately downloaded book I get it immediately. The same book on PB602 requires verification each and every time. Both devices are registered.

This means that if I am away from any wifi connection, I cannot read my DRM protected books on my PB602.

I believe I read somewhere that this is a fault with PB602.

I hope someone can help please.
