So yes, they are formatted for the 505, but they're actually usable and available to just about anyone (as long as you are or pretend to be in the US).

There are some quite nice things there, too. I just found a fully illustrated copy of George MacDonald's 'At the Back of the North Wind.' Haven't had a chance to see how the illustrations show up on my 505 yet, but they look nice and pretty on my computer.
