Greetings & first post

Hi folks,
As a fresh ebook convert, I thought I'd register on mobileread.com right away.

Just picked up the Sony 505 while in London. Since I don't need a touchscreen and @£149 I couldn't resist.
I've done some reading on the site already and I guess I'll be using Calibre instead of the Sony software to organize & transfer my ebooks.

One question I do have is concering the (latest) firmware: how can I check if my device is up to date? I Couldn't find any info on Sony's site.

Oh, and another one straight away: what is the easiest/cleanest way of editing existing ebook files (lit, lrf & epub). I already have some classics to try, but I''d like to cleean them up a little before uploading them to the 505 (like removing pictures, fixing typo's and correcting special characters). I don't mind a learning curve, but I do prefer a simlpe 'open-edit-save' kind of method.

Thanks for any insight (I hope I'll be able to return in kind soon)

PS...just read the sticky, sorry for including questions straight away
