My 505 restarts about once every other reading session.

I always thought it was somewhat my fault, as I have the Reader quite loaded:
- ~600 books, magazines, and PDFs, and
- ~50 large MP3 files,
spread about all memory: main memory, a 1GB SD card, and a 4GB Memory Stick.

I always load via Sony's eBook Library software. I have a lot of Calibre-created and -converted files, and I think I've only seen restarts on Calibre files. I had suspected the problem was with ePub content, and large content, but don't really know.

I especially saw it when loading my homemade Calibre recipe for Sports Illustrated magazine (about 800 Reader pages), where it was consistent in always taking two tries to successfully open the document (the first always crashed). A recent one, which I know was in LRF format, didn't crash.

The way that poor little processor struggles to open my documents, I figured I'd accept an occasional crash in exchange for my overloading the little bugger.
