Oh I see... He was talking to those who were simply relying on the USB Mass Storage route. I though I might have been missing out on some benefit in my installation workaround.

If Sony doesn't want to rework the PRS-500 driver for 64-bit, then they should at least rewrite the software installer such that it skips over the installation of that older driver in 64-Bit environments. There was no need for the installer to fail on my PC.
