I've used the form to request an additional activation, which immediately came back as a "No" (clearly no human had read or considered it), so I used another form somewhere or another, and haven't heard anything since.

Utter nonsense.
Exactly the same thing happened to me recently, and I never heard anything backm, but when I tried to activate again a week later it worked.

Sadly I have just ordered a new PPC and will have to dance the DRM dance again. While I wait I have a stack of eReader titles that I know I will be able to read though...
