After using my 505 for two months I'm in complete agreement with HarryT and tgharold, the processor and data bus in the Sony Reader is still too slow to support large numbers of books on a card. I have thought that my reader was frozen at times because it takes so long to reindex after copying large numbers of files.

I've purchased a bunch of small capacity cards (for a few bucks each) and I'm organizing them topically. For example: One card is for books on mathematical analysis. On that card I have collections such as 'functional', 'real', 'complex', 'banach', 'hilbert', etc. I can put 50 or so files on a card that way and it is not too upsetting to do an update.

I still have not found a card holder that I like - something soft sided that fits in my reader case.
