Anyone know whether I can download the free 100 Classic titles from CONNECT without having to place a resident program onto my work computer? Any other connectivity issues if I use the PRS-505 solely with my work computer? Outside of CONNECT, how else can you purchase or swap or download titles? Can I do that with my Mac at home?

Every one of the $1.99 "free" public-domain titles on the Sony Connect store are available elsewhere for free. The only thing you get is formatting that is specifically for the Sony.
I've also got a Mac at home and a laptop PC at work that blocks the Sony connect site. I ended up taking the laptop home and using it to download some of my free books, but there really wasn't a lot there that I couldn't find someplace else. I've still got about 50 credits left, and it's going to be a challenge using those all up.
The PRS-500 is being offered at Costco with a $50 credit good for anything at the Sony Connect store, and that is a much better deal.
