Great to hear that I am not the only one!

It depends on what version of the firmware you have. Did you send it to Sony to be upgraded to the latest version? If so, your PRS-500 should present itself as a memory device (like a USB stick). If not, you need to use old versions of either the Sony Reader software or Calibre to access the internal memory.
In this case you can either install the software from the CD that came with the PRS-500, or install the mentioned version of Calibre (although some say 0.6.55 also works). After installing Calibre you can find the needed drivers in the 'driver' folder inside the folder where you installed Calibre (most likely c:\Program Files\calibre).

It thought that is only true for SD-cards. I believe that it is no problem with a 'real' memory stick (Sony's own memory card system).
