I am very excited to own this (I've been lurking on this site for weeks) but somehow I haven't found an answer to this question yet.
and the answers are, nope and nope. just connect the 505 with the usb cable, it will appear as an external drive and you can copy the files in. and since it can read .txt (i'm pretty sure) no worries there either (although they won't be very pretty. for pretty, i recommend epub format).

i do recommend you take a look at calibre (see the calibre forum), it's a really useful library management, conversion, and rss aggregation tool. i find it indispensable.

happy reading !
