Can someone shed some light on how the Sony DRM works. More specifically:

If I download a file into a player that has not been "authorized", will it display? I assume not.

Connect does not let me authorize a reader on more than one account at the same time. If my wife wants to read a book that I bought on her reader, the only way appears to be to deauthorize her from her account and authorize her on my account. Will this make the books that she has bought and downloaded to her reader stop working or will she still be able to read them?

Is there any way to strip the DRM so that my wife can read the file without this mess?

Thanks.
