The only problem I have with this (I did buy that disc) is that the titles are very cryptic and that makes it much harder to organize them the way I want to, which is to be able to view all the ebooks I have on my computer and decide which ones to move to the reader.

As to the original problem which started this thread, buy a 4GB memory stick and use that, since we're discussing a 505 which claims to be able to handle this capacity. That leaves 2GB for the actual library and collections plus 1.5 GB for the database file that the reader builds to catalog all of them, and you should be fine.

It'll take a long time for the reader to catalog them all, the first time you disconnect from the computer, but once you've done that, with the 4GB memory stick, you should be just fine and still have all your reference works.
