Vista DEP exception

I was up until 1:00 last night trying to work on this myself. I finally gave up and went back to the store and exchanged it, I was hopeful that the unit was defective. It wasn't, here's what I did to fix (I use Vista, 64 bit, FYI)

1. Open the Start menu and right-click “Computer”
2. Choose “Properties” from the context menu.
3. Choose “Advanced system settings” from under “Tasks” in the left pane.
4. Approve the User Account Control query (You will have to be an administrator to do it).
5. Click the button “Settings” in the Performance section.
6. Click the tab on the right “Data Execution Prevention”
7. Choose either “Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:”
8. Click "Add"
9. Go to Program Files (for 64 bit, it's Program Files (x86)) > Sony > Reader > Data > bin >eBook Library
10. Click "Open"
11. Click "Apply" and then "OK"

This seems to have solved my problems and I can start enjoying the reader!
