I convinced my mother to buy a Sony Reader 505 with the belief that we would be able to share content. Needless to say, we were a bit surprised when we tried to log into my Sony Connect account on her PC to register her reader only to be told that only one Sony Connect account could be registered to her PC (she created her own account first).

So is the book sharing on 6 devices a bunch of nonsense in this case? I guess if you lived in the same household and shared a credit card it would make sense to have a single family Sony Connect login.

Is there anyway around this? It is not like we are trying to allow more than the legal six devices per book purchase.
