I ended up having to strip the DRM to get this book onto my 505. I know that stripping is frowned upon, but hey, I paid $14 dollars for the book and was not about to let my money go down the drain. Once I got rid of the DRM, I was able to convert the file in Calibre and get it onto my reader.

Will I continue to strip? Probably. Why should I have my collection limited to what's available in any one eBook store? I'm paying for these books and I'm not sharing them. I just need to be able to get them on to my device. I have no intentions of having several different readers just so I can get access to all the books I want to read.
