Help-Transferring content to another reader.

carpetmojo · 07-02-2011, 01:14 PM

I've tried "search" but can't seem to get the right form of words !
I'd appreciate any help....

I have a PRS650 authorized to me on my PC.
My son has a PRS350 authorized to him on his laptop.

When I plugged his into my PC, opened my reader library, and tried to transfer some books [as I gather I can , up to 6 devices ], a pop-up told me :-

"This book cannot be transferred because the reader is authorized to another owner"

How do we get around this please ?

I know I've read something on this, but can't find it, sorry.

Be most grateful if anyone could sort us out ?

Six of your devices. If your son has a different Adobe ID, they will not be readable on his PC/Device. You can change the ID on his device to yours, but he will not be able to read his Adobe DRMd content until he changes it back.

If you want to share books you Can:

Authorize the ereaders to the same ADE account

or

If the source allows multiple ebook downloads, download the ebook to your account and his account. He would need to load his ebook reader withh his laptop.

or

Break the drm. See google for specifics.
