That's good to know -- I hadn't investigated it since authorizing my 500 in March '07, but wasn't sure if it could be de-authorized without being connected.

I have a question, then. I thought de-authorizing meant that books from that account wouldn't work on that device anymore. If the device can be deauthorized without being connected, than any DRM files already on that device can still be read. Perhaps a glitch in their DRM reasoning? One could fill the device with purchased books, sell the device, deauthorize it and still have 5 new readers (plus the 1 computer necessary to load the books) on which to load the purchased books again.
