I've had the 505 since December 08 and the only time it has crashed was when reading a very large pdf (that wasn't formatted for my Reader screen size).
I've let the battery get down to 1 bar (usually because I just can't stop reading long enough to plug it in- then I forget to plug it in to charge and later start reading again).
After reading some of the problem threads, I decided to "play it safe", as I am not very tech savvy. So, I charge my Reader using the wall charger, load books through the Sony eLibrary, keep less than 150 books on it, and the only pdf's I read are formatted for my reader. I also have never turned my Reader off, just set it to sleep with the top button.
