So can anyone here offer a brief guide/outline to the authorizing of ebooks, and, for me in particular, give advice on how to avoid getting messages saying, in my case, 'this computer is not authorized to preview this ebook.'*

*I use Sony library, I wish to continue using it despite of choice alternatives. I have acquired a Adobe ID, and the software says I'm authorized for DRM content, but in spite of this it won't let me view a book I bought through Waterstones. Fortunately, I have a copy of the book still on my reader (would this have anything to do with the problem? All the books on my reader are copied to the library as backups.) Another thing of note is that I have a library installed on three seperate computers. The book I purchased is, I believe, on all of these.

Is there something I did wrong to confuse the file? What could I do to fix this (not being a fan of the prospect of removing software and starting from scratch.)

Thanks in advance for any help.
