The easiest way is to connect the reader to a WiFi net and access the Sony store, just make sure you use the same e-mail address there as you did for ADE.
Or you can do it through the Reader for PC software.
Thank you. This is just what I needed to know. I already use Calibre but in preparation for the T1 I downloaded and installed the Mac version of Reader. It recognized my 505 but it also pulled all of my eBooks out of Calibre. I didn't really want that. I'd rather continue to use Calibre and delete Reader from my computer entirely.

Looks like there's no problem doing that.

Okay, I can't leave this alone. Going back to the OP, the reason I don't want to use Reader is exactly like AprilHare's problem. I had installed Reader to make Collections on my PRS505. It made me update my password. Fair enough since I hadn't been back for over a year.

When I went to buy a T1 from my browser, I got almost clear through and it switched me to the Sony Store in Reader and made me enter everything all over again. When I got to the final checkout it refused my password. I use 1Password and I know it was the same one. I finally gave up and reset it again. When I went back my shopping cart was empty. It made me start over again for the forth time before finally letting me buy a new Reader.

I've gotten used to Amazon and Barnes and Noble, they make it easy to buy their products. [end of rant]
