I've posted my thoughts on the formatting problems for Adobe eBooks viewed on the PRS-505. I've had the device for a week and wouldn't recommend it for viewing content downloaded from the library. Single-line quotes, pagination and hyphens are my complaints.
But, man, other than that, it's a great device. I love the usability. Content from the Sony eBook store looks fine.
I had also hoped that downloading scanned content would be useful (e.g. from Google books), but the device renders too slowly to be useful. It takes 8 seconds to change the page. Hmm, seems like they could pre-render the next page while waiting...
I think all of these issues are ultimately solvable, but I wouldn't buy a device based on these hopes.
