I tried a re-set of the reader, but other than all the books vanishing from the reader... no effect.

I had a very similar problem. At first, the problem was limited to the Library "seeing" the 505 but not interacting with it. I did multiple hard resets that didn't fix the problem, and in fact, made it worse in that (1) Library, calibre and my computer (Mac) didn't even see the Reader most of the time and (2) the 505 froze, and gave me a fractured, B/W reversed screen image.

I did, however, manage to cure the problem, as follows:

I attached my 505 to my computer, checked to make sure that the red recharge light was on, and left it attached to the computer for two hours. I then disconnected the 505 from the computer, did yet another hard reset, and presto, everything was back to normal.

I have no idea why this worked. Magic, I suppose. But give it a shot & maybe it will work for you, too.
