The copy from PC to eBook reader was faster than it had been copying to SD cards, page turns on the Sony turned faster, and now I can go weeks between battery charges.

I used a newer version of the memory stick. It's designated as "Sony MSMT1G 1GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (Mark2)," and it's rated faster than the first release. The advice I found on MR was that the old ones work much better with the PRS 505 than SD cards too, so either way it seems better to choose memory sticks.
I don't know who's advice you got, but if you can fit a lot of eBook on the internal memory of the 505. Using a memory card drains the battery sooner then using the internal memory. Try using the internal memory and not an external memory card and you'll see you get more out of the battery per charge. I have about 80 eBooks on my 505 at the moment with plenty of memory left for more.
