If it still showing up on your Sony account page, then call the Sony support desk and they will remove it for you. Hope that helps!
Hmmm, it says "Authorized for the eBookStore." I guess I have to keep trying

Edit: Okay, so I didn't skim far enough to see what you're talking about. It says it's not authorized for Adobe DRM.

Are you referring to the older Library software, and is it still available somewhere? I have the new software, and I can't find this option anywhere.

Edit: So I found this article on Sony's website that explains how to do it. Apparently you have to click on Preferences while holding down the secret double hotkey combo:

Adobe Digital Editions is kinda like this too. I don't know why they hide this stuff behind undocumented hotkey combos. It's not like it would be an unrecoverable disaster if one were to accidentally deauthorize a device. Oh, well.

Thanks, you two
