Short answer: I think that Adobe DRM makes it impossible to do what you want to do.

Long answer: A reader (device or computer software) can be used to read a ADE-protected book only if it is registered with ADE. All devices/programs must be registered with the same Adobe ID in order to read the same book file.

I understand you to say that the the second 505 has not been authorized with ADE. If the second 505 is not authorized, or not authorized with the same Adobe ID as the first 505, you will not be able to exchange DRM-protected books between the two 505s.

Assuming that you have control over both 505s, the easiest thing to do is to plug the second one into PC1 once and register it with ADE. Once you do that, both 505s can share books copied however you want -- email, CDs, FTP, dropbox, what-have-you. You do not need ADE on PC2 unless you also want to use PC2 to read the books.
