The major differences are:

1. Screen. The 505 has a newer screen with better contrast and a bit faster page turn times.

2. Memory. The 505 has more internal memory to store ebook files.

3. Formats. The 505 supports the ePub format. It also supports Adobe DRMed ePub and PDF ebooks.

4. PDF support on the 505 includes reflow.

That's about it. The 500 is a great device to get started with.
