I assume you registered the device to your own Sony account? If so, you will be unable to read and LRX files that were already on the device. Unless the previous owner gave you the account name and password you are pretty much out of luck.

Thanks for the help. Actually, the file type indicates BBeB Book. This is kind of disheartening. However, makes me feel a little better about people trying to pirate books and stuff.
Ironically, I bought the physical book a couple of days before I bought the reader. Once I found out the book was on the reader, I returned it to Borders. Now it looks like I will have to buy it again. Not a big deal...Just thought the books would have been a sweet deal with the reader.
I really appreciate the help with this. I hope you don't mind me taking advantage of your attention
Sony promotes the 100 free Classic Books. Indicates that once you authorize your device/computer, the credit should be in your account.
After 2 hours on the phone with support, they tell me that I should just be able to "buy" the book without the credit. It will allow me to download the book, and never credit my account.
Have you tried this? What are your thoughts. Again, thank you very much.
