Can 2 e-readers be authorized on one computer?

jazz · 12-01-2010, 07:07 PM

Can someone answer this?: I have a Sony e-reader and I'm thinking of purchasing a NookColor. Will I have to de-authorize the Sony on my computer before I can authorize the Nook, or can both remain viable on the same computer? Thanks.

Reoortedly, ADE allows up to six devices off the same account.
And since you are going from generic Adept to Nook DRM there should be no issue.

Yes ... I have 4 Sony ereaders and a Kobo authorized in ADE ... so there's no problem with just two.

Nook uses a different authorization scheme for its version of ADE. You may want to visit the Nook forum to see how that plays out. Kobo and Sony play nicely together in part because the ADE DRM scheme is the same on both.
