My 500 does not connect to any modern device at all, but does work with my vintage Windows XP setup. Battery is actually in pretty good shape considering. Lasted the length of 1 book
Trying to compare the 500 and 505 is like comparing apples and oranges. They're worlds apart. I like the way the 505 feels and I still read one or the other book with it.
I was lucky enough to obtain one of these original black light covers a few weeks back:

These covers are so hard to come by. They tend to almost unravel with time. With a T1 and a T3 cover, I actually removed the plastic (leathery) layer off the fabric, because they were in such a bad state. Now they look like linen bound books. Maybe I will glue some fabric or faux leather to the covers to stabilize/make them look nicer.
I might add a tutorial on how to "refurbish" fraying original Sony covers once I am finished with experimenting. BTW. this seller has T1/T2 new old stock covers for sale in all 3 colors:

Not sure they ship internationally. I got a white one from them and it's pristine. No light though.

Spinningwoman a few years back printed some for PRS-350 and another model, but maybe she can help with this. See:

I am happily hunting for more Sony reader models since I am planning on a collection of every model ever made, preferably in all colors. Will occupy me a while
