All 'deactivation' does for RMSDK based applications (such as ADE) is to erase the local activation information (files or registry info) for the device in question. There is no Adobe server interaction at all. Adobe can NOT remotely deactivate your computer (or remove books, etc....).
So if you can't deactivate don't sweat it, because it really doesn't matter anyway.

Additionally if someone has many machines or has done many activations then IT IS an issue and a PITA.

No argument there, but much less so than a year ago.

I enjoy ebooks to much to leave and go work at RoR Mac shop (Sorry, pilotbob, I'm more of a vanilla PHP or Java guy anyway), so I'm heading to Barnes and Noble.
Note: I am officially no longer an Adobe Employee (badge turned in and everything).
