Ok, what is "it" and when exactaly did it say that? Also, where did you get the books you have a problem with?

Ok, so you are talking about ebooks bought from the Sony store? All the books show in your account, those that work and those that don't?

What version of Sony eBook Library do you have? What version is the firmware on your reader?

I could be wrong, but you may have to put them in a folder on your SD card. Someone that uses an SD card with the 505 will have to tell you.

Make sure you format it with FAT32 and NOT ntfs.

We'll try our best. It's just learning curve at this point I am sure.
