Is this a dumb question?

khalleron · 11-22-2014, 01:36 PM

I'm getting a Kobo Aura H2O and retiring my PRS-T1. I'm thinking I might give it to a friend, but I'm wondering how to go about de-authorizing it and having my friend re-authorize since the Sony ebook store no longer functions.

Has anyone else done this? Can you walk me through the process?

Does http://t1-reader.ru/en/reference/factory.html work? Note that I haven't tried this for obvious reasons

.

Cheers,
Simon.

What snarkophilus said - do a factory reset and you should be in business. Kobo doesn't tie your device to your account like Sony did, if you're concerned about being able to use their store from the T1.

You will want to de-authorize through ADE if you've used that for Library books or purchases. You have to physically plug your T1 in to ADE to de-authorize.

Steps here in case you need them.

When I plug in ADE doesn't see my reader. I initially authorized the reader by wifi.

I'm not ready to do this yet, just thinking ahead.

Thanks for the replies.
