There is a documentation in Czech language here:
http://www.pepak.net/e-books/prs-505-sbirky/
As far as english docs are concerned, there are just the comments in the sample INI file. Please check them out and if anything is not clear enough, ask here and I'll answer.

The reason I ask is that I would like to modify one of these two programs to work with some other software I use, and it isnt quite clear to me exactly how Collections are stored on the PRS 505. Thanks!

PRS-505 stores collections in media.xml or cache.xml (depends on media - internal memory uses one, memory cards the other). The syntax is slightly different in each, but it pretty much boils down to something like this:
Code:
<playlist name="My collections of books">
<item id="123" />
<item id="567" />
<item id="159" />
</playlist>
Collection Builder just generates this XML according to its definition files (which tend to be easier to maintain and update than the XMLs).
