Hello,

I received my PRS-505 two weeks ago and the first problem i faced has to do with SD cards.
I started using my PRS-505 by keeping the readers memory free of ebooks and keeping a few ebooks in a Transcend 512MB 80x SD card.
Then after a few connects/disconnects to Sony eBook Library (or libprs500), in order to create Collections and to modify book/author titles i show that my SD Card has lost all these changes (Collections, Modifications to ebooks titles etc).

Two days ago i connected my device to pc in order to charge it, but after the disconnection i had the same problem (with the lost Collections and Modifications to ebooks).

I copied all my data to a TwinMOS Ultra-X 2GB 133x SD card and i noticed two things:
1) The time it takes to load the books when you insert the TwinMOS SD to the device, is now reduced.
2) No more lost Collections, etc
3) PRS-505 works faster when navigating to menus, when loading ebooks ...

Did you have same issues with your device too??
Does the problem has to do with the compatibility of the device with specific brands or has to do with cards speed (80x VS 133x VS ??x)?
