No worries. I bought an eReader book for my Sony 500 when I first got it too.

Well, this is up to you. The 505 will support the Secure PDFs but you will have to download Adobe Digital Editions software, create an Adobe ID, register your Digital Editions then register your reader via DE. Once you do that the Secure PDFs from BoB/FW will work on the 505. That is the "legal" way to do it.
Now, if you are willing to remove the DRM you can buy the MS Reader (LIT) files or the Mobipocket and use convertlit or mobidedrm to remove the DRM. Once you've done this you can import it into calibre and convert it to LRF (or ePub) for use on your 505.
Also, there is ereader2html which will let you remove the DRM from your ereader book to and then you can convert that with calibre.
However, you are on your own in obtaining these tools... google can help.
