Darn
guess I lose everything then. This whole ordeal has really soured us on the ebook thing. I understand the need for some reasonable DRM protection but this mess makes it hard not to go back to buying paper books. I have a sliver of hope that my Adobe support request will get them to 'reset' or whatever the activation issue...and I won't even get into the Sony server/software issues!
Anyway, thanks for your help.
