I do have a question about the 505 crashing when loading a book. Is it because the battery was cruddy? Or is it because the covers were hi-res and it couldn't properly load them? It worked fine on a book that didn't have a cover (non published epub direct from author's website) but another book (liberated Kindle converted to epub) was where the crashing happened.

I'm guessing, but I don't know, that's it's probably the battery. When one of my old Sonys only "half started," I realized the battery was low and it worked when plugged in. My 700 and 500 both have weak batteries. I'm surprised that both are at least trying to start after a week without charging. (Just tested them again. The 700 came up with a "low battery" warning, but it opened the book. The 500 tried to start, but stalled at "loading." So I'm guessing your issue is the battery.)
EDIT: Plugged the 500 into power, restarted it and it finished loading.
