Wondering if anyone can help me. I've just bought and successfully downloaded an ebook for my sony e reader. It shows up fine in my library but when trying to access it on my actual ereader I only get the words 'protected page!'.
I've tried deleting it and putting the file back on again but its not working. Does anyone know why this might be? I've not much experience with buying ebooks

I had this with an old Sony ereader. It's a bug to do with conflicting protected ePub and protected PDF formats.

Google: sony ereader protected page error

and you can read all the details about the issue.

Thanks for the response. Have read up on it and there doesn't seem to be much I can do Glad I didnt download the amount I was planning to, would be even more money down the drain.

Yes, for me it was the final nail in the coffin that persuaded me to get a Kindle. Gave the old Sony to my sister, who's happy because it was free.
