So draw your own conclusions but based on experience with sony Im going with a slight change in the factory firmware on some models that have altered the activation to get people to do it.

hm, that's odd, i've not heard of that happening before. when did you buy your device ? can you tell us what firmware version you have ?
mine is not activated (i installed the software but didn't register my device) and i've had no trouble reading non-drm lrf books, although it's not my format of choice. i refuse to buy drm lrx books, so i've never had a reason to authorise the 700 / test how they work. i don't use the sony software for much of anything, really, apart from occasionally checking what a book will look like before transferring it.
