I don't know how you can de-authorize the reader (it needs old user for doing this). Probably, formatting internal memory will de-authorize the reader, but in this way, all contents on the reader will be erased.</P><P><BR />But I think that's possible, as with the new readers (PRS-T1 or T2), change the authorization even without de-authorize previously the device. You have to connect the reader with a PC(Mac) authorized with your Adobe ID and with the "Reader for PC(Mac)" installed.</P><P><BR /><A href="http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/PRS-300/downloads/SWupdate_Reader_PC_v2002_15180">http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/PRS-300/downloads/SWupdate_Reader_PC_v2002_15180</A></P><P><BR />Attention!!! After reader's authorization with your Adobe ID, all old contents on reader authorized with the old user's Adobe ID will not be "readable" anymore.</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 01 Jun 2013 01:06:26 GMT https://community.sony.bg/t5/ereaders/authorization-issues/m-p/705537#M1492 jan2011 2013-06-01T01:06:26Z
