Can still do it!
BobVA has it right - Connect Support can move the content from the soon-to-be-deactivated account to the main account. They might resist at first, but insist to them that you will want the defunct account totally deleted, and eventually they will see the light and move them. They did this for me...
Since we are gluttons for complexity, we went one more and authorized two computers (my laptop and my wife's laptop) and both of our readers on the same Connect account. Now we can get all content on both Readers at the same time. It takes a little copying and moving to put it on the second PC, but it works OK. We're now up to 4 of the 6 potential authorized devices.
Once the initial download is done, it's not possible to download multiple books at once to the second computer. I've worked around that by transferring the titles from the purchasing computer to a Reader, then taking that Reader to the second computer and copying from the Reader to the computer - sorted by date, this works reasonably well.
With this method, we can buy books using either authorized computer and read them on either reader. This complexity would not be necessary if we simply had one central computer at home we used to purchase ebooks, but we both travel a lot and want to be able to purchase on the road.
