I'm just waiting to take delivery of a second-hand 505 for my wife. I've been using an IREX DR800S and mostly convert everything to PDF - largely academic stuff and a few PD novels (mostly because they come as PDF and I've got Adobe Acrobat so I can make them look reasonable).

So, some question for y'all;
Am I right in thinking the 505 isn't great at handling PDF - does it depend on firmware version?
Do I need to put things into ePub format to get the best out of the unit?
What's this 505+ that I've read about?
Is LRF dead and buried or is it still a good format?
Any other tips and hints to make my wife's ereading experience enjoyable on the 505 greatly appreciated (mostly so she doesn't go ape when I suggest spending another few hundred quid on new "toys").
