Used 505 to existing library sync error

shrktank · 11-06-2009, 10:54 PM

Just received a used 505 from ebay seller. I have a 600 and want to share the existing library.

I authorized the 505 to my existing Sony library.

However, when syncing to my library, the sync gets hung up. When I cancel the sync, the error message "This ebook cannot be transferred because the Reader is authorized to another user" comes up.

Any idea why this occurs any how do I fix?

It is interesting I can manually move the books to the reader.

Figured out what was going on. It seemed the library books I checked out from the library were causing the hangup and not the sony ebooks. I entered the wrong ADE username and password and it hung up the sync process.
