Upgraded reader, now I cannot view purchased books
A week ago the screen broke on my Sony 600, so I backed up my books, and ordered a 650. So today I received the 650, plugged it in, put all my books on it - easy. Until I tried reading my purchased books - they're protected by copyright. I'm guessing I need to do something with Adobe Digital Editions, can anyone help?

You have to authorise the new reader to your Adobe account used to purchase the books...

Do I do this via the Adobe website, or can it be done in the Adobe Digital Editions program?

If you start ADE, then plug in your reader, you should be prompted to authorize a new device.

Or, start Reader Library, go to the eBook Store and sign-in to manage your devices.

It worked, although I had to remove some books and transfer them back to get Reader Library to bring up the authorize prompt (we don't have the 'manage your devices' button here in the UK). Thanks.

Why don't we ??

Seems a good idea - are we some kind of second-class ereader buyers ?
