Crap! I wish I would've checked shortcovers. I ended up getting it from Amazon on the iPod touch, then decrypted, converted, etc. I've had a hell of a time untangling calibre's semi-sloppy ePub conversion, as well as fixing various other text issues (slightly screwy things in the original mobi file--nothing terrible, but mildly annoying when you come across them and know they shouldn't be like that).
As to your question—reading it on the 505 is far easier than reading the paper tome, IMHO. The endnotes aren't too bad, but can occasionally take 5-10 secs for the new page to load. Generally, once it's loaded a particular endnote section, it will reload a bit quicker on subsequent visits. All in all, though, it probably takes about the same amount of time as fumbling around with multiple bookmarks and flipping back-and-forth through the book. I think an ebook reader is definitely the way to try to deal with this book.
