Please go to www.microsoft.com/re...for additional information.

When I looked up this message, it said this happens when the book is installed on a storage card. I installed to main memory and got the same thing. Anybody know a way around this? I've been at this for four years and it's wearing me out.
MS Reader's DRM is so intrusive and convoluted I gave up on it years ago. I know you have already paid for it, but http://www.ereader.com/ebooks/b16734/?si=59 has it and in 10 years, I have never had an activation problem with their books that a quick email to their support staff didn't have a ready answer for. - well, there was one time, but it turned out to be a corrupt sector on a memory card - difficult to diagnose.
