You'll need to blame Microsoft for your issue with Sony. MS makes it hard to get a 64-bit drive written and all you have to go through to do is is not worth it for the small amount of users of the 64-bit Vista.

That said, you'll need a 32-bit Windows to properly run Ebook Library. That's just the way it is.

One thing I am not sure of though is because the 505 is seens as a mass storage device by the OS, no extra driver is needed. The 505 & Ebook Library might very well function on a 64-bit version of Windows. It's only the 500 that needs a specific USB driver and that driver is 32-bit only.
