I use the following configuration and it works :
I have a Mac with Adobe Digital Editions and Calibre installed. On that same MAC, i use Fusion from Vmware, running a VM with XP. On that XP i have installed the SONY PRS-505 Software and Adobe Digital Editions.
I only need the windows setup to get the SONY PRS-5005 recognized, or authorized with my Adobe ID.
For normal operations, I use the MAC. I buy my epub DRM books, download them with Adobe Digital Editions on the MAC, and put them on the Sony PRS-5050 using Calibre. It works fine, I can put the books either in the internal memory or in the SD card.
But now eveything get complicated:
I bought a Sony for my wife, and installed the same configuration on her MAc, including the XP under Fusion stuff.
She has her own Adobe ID.
When I want to read books from her account, or viceversa, the Sony has to be authorized for the respectif Adobe ID. It seems as if no 2 Adobe ID's could be authorized for one device.
So the question would be why usiong 2 different Adobe Id's ?
I remember havin read thta only 4 devices could be authorized with one Adobe ID ? Can someone confirm this ?
And i am not sure if the ADE on MAC and the ADE on Windows XP count for one or 2 installations.
If it were 2, together with the Sony, each installation would require 3 Adobe authorizations ? Correct ?
So the 2 installation woul need 6, which is more than 4 and the setup would not work?
Is this correct ? Is there any other solution to be able to read books in epub format from 2 accounts on the 2 machines ?

jevylux,
A Sony Reader can only be authorized to one AdobeID at the same time. An OS user account (Mac/Windows) can only be authorized to one AdobeID at a time (although you can have multiple users on the same machine authorized to different AdobeIDs).
The authorization limit starts at 6 computers and 6 devices (Sony Readers count as devices, not computers). What's different is that there is no way to manage your authorizations (ie deauthorize device or deauthorize all), instead your authorization limit will grow slightly over time to account for selling/breaking devices.
In your circumstances if you authorized everything to your AdobeID, then you would have 4 or 3 computer activations (depending upon if you authorized the second Windows VM on your wife's machine - if you just use it to authorize the Reader you only need one) and 2 device activations - well within your authorization limits.
