One is for me, one is for my girlfriend, who lives 3 hours from my "home base". Should I register both on my PC so that we can share purchased content? From what I've read, that will also pool the activation credit, yes?

Another quick question I have that is probably hidden in the fine print somewhere (and I apologize for not being able to find this already) is what happens when I change computers? Is that related to authorizing the content on up to 6 devices? One HAS to be a computer, but I'd guess that as many of those 6 COULD be computers, so could she get the Connect Store on her PC, and have access to all of the same content that I do on mine? (if she uses my account?)

If that works, then I'd guess that 2 readers and 2 computers count as 4 devices, so I'd have 2 open slots for the future if I upgraded my computer and she upgraded hers. Does that sound right to the experts?

Thanks again for the great community, sorry for the run-on sentences, and I hope I'm not being overly redundant with these questions. I've been looking, but there SO MUCH INFO!!!
If I understand Sony's Connect facilties, the ability to de-activate a device allows a user to move to a different replacement PC. Forever? There is a de-activate command on the screen next to my PC.
