These books are all password locked, requiring me to unlock every time I open them with my school username and pw. I would love to be able to put these texts on my reader instead of reading on-screen. Now, I'm not asking anyone to tell me how to break any copyright rules. The question is, is it possible to work around this password requirement? I have a sony and so it isn't wi-fi connected and so I can't enter the pw on it for the book.

Philosophically, anyone else think this is dumb? I did PAY for the book...why can't I put it on my reader so I can read it, oh, on the bus or somewhere I'm not hooked up to the internet?

Any ideas?
We can't answer that until we know what system your school is using to manage the passwords. There are a bunch of possibilities.

Got a link?
