Isn't another difference that the 505 uses the USB Mass Storage device protocol, so will mount as a disk drive on Mac and Linux, while the 500 uses some proprietary scheme, and so only works with Sony's Windows software? (Or Calibre, I think).

4. PDF support on the 505 includes reflow.
That's about it. The 500 is a great device to get started with.
