I believe the firmware version on the English 505 is different from the US version. I don't know what is different about the two firmwares.

I suspect they are telling you not to buy US available ebooks as the copyright laws for each country may differ but there are people outside of US who have purchased US ebooks and not had any problems. That being said, I do not think you have access to Sony's US ebook store. You would have to purchase from fictionwise or booksonboard.

Adobe Digital Editions should be universal.
