Why are you using your 500 when you have better Readers available? The 500 screen is awful compared to newer screens. The 500 is very slow and unless you've already sent it to Sony, it won't handle ePub. Plus, even if it did handle ePub, the version of ADE would be rather old. I don't recommend the 500 to anyone anymore.
