Hi there,

Thanks to Asawi and delphin!

Finally I got it done! At least I could copy the ePub to my Reader.
Actually, it was pretty simple, but as we all know hindsight is nice thing.

For all those out there who face a similar issue:

Get your eBook into ADE.
Import the file created by ADE into the Sony Reader Library (on my box this file was located in "Documents/Digital Editions" of my home directory)
Plug in the PRS-505
Drag&Drop the book onto the reader. If it hasn't been authorized yet, you'll now get asked if you want to. I did that, and the book was successfully copied.

BUT STILL ADE DOESN'T SHOW THE READER

Lessons Learned:
Avoid this DRM crap!
(unless you're running in the middle of the mainstream!)
And don't bother to ask Thalia Support! They have also no clue.

Good luck for those who still want to venture into DRM business.

Tommy
