I think the worst thing about the 505 is they left out the A/C adapter. When I hook it into the USB it knows it and then rescans its cards or something when you disconnect. I haven't timed it but I think it takes about 20 minutes now from the time I insert the SD card (or pull the reader off the USB after loading a book onto it via connect) to the time I get a menu, and I only have 1600 books on the card so far. With the A/C adapter it just charges, it doesn't reset itself.

The second worst thing is the slow battery drain even when it's off. It needs a quick hibernate mode, not just the current apparent standby mode.
