I got the Silver PRS-300 for Christmas, I wanted the Navy Blue, but Best Buy only had Silver. My wife now wants a PRS-300 of her own, and is going to purchase a Navy Blue one from the Sony Store being as they now have $20.00 off the PRS-300s.

Before I give my Silver PRS-300 to her. I would like to return it to the original condition it was in when new, so she can load the appropriate software on her computer and strat off fresh. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Also, I'm pretty sure I have all the e-books currently on my Silver PRS-300 on my computer, but should I back up the files on my Silver PRS-300 before wiping it? How is this accomplished?

Do I need to deactivate it within ADE so I can activate the new one on my computer?

I know this is a lot of questions, but I don't want my wife to run into any issues with setting up and using the Silver Reader. Thanks for any suggestions!
