Due to ever changing corporate laptops I now find that with both Readers still registered on this account, we never deleted old PC connections and now I can't register my newest laptop.
Sadly a month ago my colleague died and I really don't want to intrude into the family with something as trivial as sorting this account out.
So if the original statement is true, can I do a complete hard reset and then register my 505 onto the UK Sony site? But what about all my read/unread books?

Email Sony and ask them to de-authorize the old computer and let you authorize the new one, to your existing account.
The annoying thing is that you are supposed to connect from the computer that you are de-authorizing. This is obviously impossible in cases where it breaks, or is no longer in your possession. The sony people are quite used to this type of request and should be able to arrange matters very quickly.
However, if the account is not in your name then you will have problems, and may have to approch the bereaved family, or resign yourself to losing the books.
Alternatively, you can set up a UK account and authorize your reader to this. But then you won't be able to access the books from the American account.
