To activate MS Reader, you need a "Passport" account (a Hotmail address counts as a Passport).

Activation is only required for ebooks that are DRM Level 5 (I think???) encoded, if I recall. Not sure about DRM3.

During the activation process, if there is any type of error do this: clear your browser's cache (Internet Explorer calls it "Temporary Internet Files") and also clear all the Cookies. If you're running any type of software 'personal firewall' it couldn't hurt to disable it during the activation process. I haven't read anything about it, but it just crossed my mind as I was typing this...

The first time I activated Reader, it went with no problem both on the desktop and the Axim. But after then ROM update on the Axim, I had to clear the cookies, etc. on IE before it would accept the activation the second time around.
