Ok, after getting my 500 back and charging it (I know I charged it before I sent it, but whatever...) I will concur with rwsimon's assessment: The OSX ebook library does not recognise it ("Error") but it shows up as a removable drive even under OSX 10.6.2. Calibre (the latest version as of today) does not support it either, and just copying the books onto the drive (into /database/media/books/) also does not work (They copy, but are not recognised.). I'm assuming that they changed the product IDs with the new upgrade. Here's what Apple System Profiler had to say about it:

I haven't tries it under XP yet (gotta dig up the backup discs I need first).
More updates as I figure stuff out!
