This just occurred to me and I need to add this info, but I recently upgraded the RAM on my computer from 512-megs to 2-gigs. It's possible this, too, has improved the whole updating process with the Reader.
Another thing I want to mention: I'm someone who buys new titles on a semi-regular basis when the Sony store offers them. For example, I just purchased John Updike's collection of short stories. (Interestingly, I almost bought the hardcover first edition of this mammoth title - used - when I was in the U.S. about 2 weeks ago.) The one thing that always bothers me about books I purchase from the Sony site is that they alphabetize by first name and not last name. So, if I'm looking for Updike titles on my Reader (and if I can't recall the title), then I have to go to the "J" for "John" before I can easily locate it. That means I must also remember where I purchased a book, in order for me to locate it.
To my way of thinking, this strikes me - as we Southerners like to say - as one of the most back-ass-wards way of doing things that I can remember.
Truly, though, the 505 is a wonderful piece of technology and I find myself constantly amazed at its versatility. It gives me hours of enjoyment.
