No, I am not engrossed in reading the decrypted book. I just 'bought' the first free book I could find in the Sony store for testing purposes only. The goal was to determine whether to go through the hassle of upgrading the firmware of my PRS-500. Obviously this is not necessary.

Erwin,
I imagine that we have learned something important here: the Sony Reader software generates an ADE license key whose
adeptkey.dat file has a different internal structure than the one that the Adobe Digital Editions software generates. I must admit that surprises me, since one might think they would be identical ... but you never know.
I'm confused about your PRS-500 Sony Reader: if the Sony Reader software generates the
adeptkey.dat license key file on your Mac, why is the PRS-500 itself unable to read the DRM-encrypted e-books, unless you remove the DRM encryption first. I am using the Stanza reader software on an iPhone and have to strip off the DRM for that. But I am surprised you need to do so also.
Cheers,
Eric
