I have received the 500 back just about 20 minutes ago. It seems to be the same functionality as the 505. You can even now properly delete books without resorting to a poorly functioning hack.

And the fonts for ePub being on the Reader work the same as they do for the 300, 505, 600, & 700. That's good news.

I plugged the 500 into the USB port on my XP system and it comes up as a removable device. So the 500 will work on 64-bit Windows without the need for a USB driver.
