The 505 sounds great, but I just got my 500 and can't see moving to a 505 anytime soon. I hope Sony adds some of the 505 functionality to the 500, like the folder sync feature. I wonder if this is hardware based, if so, maybe these features won't make it to the 500.

Thanks Hadrien!

Honestly, the auto-sync feature for the 505 is hardly hardware-based: you need to launch the new eBook Library to sync the files. They could easily add support for the 500 on this feature.

The sync tool should remember it's settings when restarted though, at least, it remembers mine. We really need to push things forward in the upcoming weeks on both caching and this tool. But now that the API is open, basically anyone could create such a tool too, in a different way, or for different OS/devices.

hadrien the 505's sync feature only works if sony's software is running, which makes it pretty pointless. If you want that feature it should be pretty easy to script on top of libprs500 using the windows scheduling services.
I agree that it's hardly a real auto-sync feature. By the way kovidgoyal, have you checked Feedbooks API ?
