I just downloaded a few free books from the Sony store. They have lrx extensions. I can open them fine on my laptop (in the Sony library reader). But as soon as I put them on an SD card and open them in the PRS-500 ebook reader, I get a "protected page" error and can't read the book. This is the case for all the free books I legally downloaded.

Do I have to register this ebook reader?

Why can't I read lrx books?

I'm afraid to buy any books from the Sony store in case I encounter the same problem.
