Later, I found a directory with about 50 books that appear to be Mobi with DRM. Physically, the reader looks brand new, but I am sure it is used!

Is this a common practice?

Mobipocket format eBooks cannot be used on a 505. So why would they be on it? That makes no sense. You should give J&R a call and tell them of the problem and that you got a used 505 instead of a new one and you want them to replace it with a new one.
