Yes, as far as I know it's just the driver that's a problem (there was no 64-bit driver at all, let alone a certified one).

Since the PRS-505 is accessed as a Mass Storage Device, the driver shouldn't be a limitation. The only limitation would be whether or not the software will work.
That's what I'm hoping, but it's possible that the program still talks to the reader with its own protocol in addition to the reader acting as a mass storage device (I had a Palm PDA that did that, for instance).
