My 600 is an authorized device, as is my 505. My computer is authorized device. However, for some reason, on "Manage Devices," an additional computer is shown as authorized. Here's what is showing:

1) Sony 505 [correct]
2) HP Pavilion [my computer - correct]
3) Reader Library 3 [I have no idea what that is]
4) Sony 600 [correct]

All are showing "AUTHORIZED." However, the title "READER LIBRARY 3" gives me the option to "Deauthorize," whereas the other ones do not offer that choice. Basically, it's saying I've authorized 2 computers and 2 devices, which is incorrect. I only have one computer and two devices. (This information was gathered without having a Sony Reader tethered to my computer this morning.)

So what's up with that #3 thing?

By the way, I have no problem putting ePubs onto both Readers.

When I upgraded to V3, or maybe the later one, there was a new authorized computer called "Reader Library 3". My old computer name was still there and shown as authorized. I have no idea why this happened. I changed my old computer name to "Please delete this device", then renamed "Reader Library 3" back to my original computer name. I then went on Sony Chat and said please delete the computer labeled "Please delete this device" and they did without question. It took about 5 minutes, but this was well before the Christmas Season.

You can only deactivate the computer you are currently signed-on with so the computer you are using is named "Reader Library 3". Only Sony can deactivate your old computer name. (Did you by any chance get a new computer and not "deauthorize" your old one?)

I hope this helps, but it doesn't really explain why this happened.
