Last August I purchased a second-hand Sony PRS-505. Since I also own a Kindle, I wasn't particularly interested in registering it with the Sony store. In fact, I hadn't even gone to the trouble of updating the firmware to the newest level which gave me ePub support. So, with last night's announcement of 500,000 ePub books by way of Google books, I decided to do both. The upgrade went just fine, but I can't register the reader since it's still registered to another person's account. I've sent an e-mail to the guy I bought it from and I hope he can deregister it. But if he can't how do I go about this? I did look through the Wiki and ran a search of the forum thread, but got too many hits to go through them all.
