I'm not sure why your approach to buying the books is a problem, though. You probably had to pay for some ebooks instead of using the credit, but once you register the Reader, shouldn't it work okay?
Have you called Sony support to try to get that straightened out? It sounds like something that shouldn't be a big deal to get all the books you purchased into the account you need them to be in for your reader.

Ebook-aholic?
"Hi. I'm a friend of Bob R..."
Rub it in whydoncha, Bob?
I bought about $100 worth of books while the reader was charging for the first time. When the battery was full, I connected and registered it, but the books didn't come across because the computer wasn't certified when I bought them and I had to re-download them all.
That wasn't too big a problem...fortunately. So after figuring that out, I called Sony support, and they said that since the charge had gone through already they couldn't apply my $50 credit.
I do blame myself, as of course I didn't read the instructions. With prior ebooks, I'd download the books to the computer whever I felt like it and then attached the reader at my convenience to port them in. I didn't know you had to set up and register the Sony first, before downloading.
Charm, imploring, and begging didn't work with Sony - they still wouldn't apply the credit or do a refund. It could be worse though - I could have spent $700 on a Reader that's really part of an expensive beta testing program that is now a brick...oh...wait...did that too...
