The Sony Reader is the *only* device I have for Windows that does not support Vista 64. My (all pre-Vista) Canon printer, web cam, USB DVD burner, USB hard drive, etc. all work fine. They either have 64-bit drivers, or the 32-bit drivers work fine.

So I don't blame Microsoft. Sony had the beta Vista 64 for a year before release, and now it is a year after release. Sony stopped supporting me. I can't do much about that decision, except to buy a Kindle.
Just use the 505, it works on 64bit Vista as well. Or even better switch to 64bit Linux.
