No worries, just happenstance, really.

Stupid DRM is always a good candidate when things don't work.

PS2's? Guess they didn't actually
read your message, eh?
I'd suspect that they're simply using a different DRM scheme, the "not registering a device" thing makes it sound
very likely. The PRS50X DRM is tied to an account, but the devices and DRMed books have to be tied to the
same account to work. It sounds like the Librié books are only tied to the account. That's interesting, since it sounds like you could "lend" your books to another Librié user pretty easily with that approach.
But I digress. The PRS505 is probably tying to unlock the Librié book with its registered account key, and not having any luck, since that's not what the book itself is locked with.
That's mostly guesswork, of course, but it holds together, at least.
