I just found an easy way to easily read any webpage on your Sony Reader if you have a Mac. This is especially good for really long webpages.

1. Navigate to the webpage you want to view on your Sony Reader. (I use Firefox, but this probably doesn't matter.)
2. Click File > Print
3. Click PDF > Save as PDF...
4. Enter the filename you wish to save as.
5. Enter the Title and Author (these will be used in the title and author indexes)
6. Copy this PDF over to the books directory of your Sony Reader PRS-505.

You'll probably have to magnify to M to read comfortably, but I get amazingly formatted text this way. I've only tried it out on two sites so far, so I'd be curious to hear how others fare with this method. Enjoy!
