So far, I loads my ebook with just using Calibre, what a wonderful tool, havent even bother to use Sony software, since all my book I found from MR ebook collection, and fictionwise.
Hacking 505 is really easy if you follow the great guide that available here, I use PRSCustomiser to have the joystick cursor for turning page, and use the volume button to shutdown the device. Changing the default font using Valloric's is really easy to, the guide is so perfectly made, step by step is described in detail.
The harderst part, for me, is to put down the 505, LOL. So far, the most difficult task were removing DRM from ebook I bought from fictionwise, lots of trial and error, finally now Im able to strip the DRM from secure mobi/ereader, all thanks to the guide/tips found here on MR.
