Actually, I don't think this is correct. The books should still work on that reader unless you have to physically connect the reader to the Sony store to unregister it. I think they'd have to be able to unregister it without a connection or a broken reader couldn't be unregistered.

Where the DRM would get the new owner (assuming the previous owner "accidentally" left books on it) is they would not be able to re-download those books.
