Only about 86% of all the titles that Sony sold are currently available in epub format: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16810 I assume they'll catch up and convert the rest but there's no way to know except by waiting and watching.

As to not being able to read LRX ebooks after the conversion, I can say definitely that there is no firmware upgrade for the 505, the LRX and LRF ebooks I have still show up in the PC software version 3.1, and I can still read those ebooks on my 505. I did not try to open one of the LRX ebooks with the PC software to see that it would display them but I would be shocked if that didn't still work.

As to the 500, I can't help you.
