Now, on one of my macs, I've got essentially the same problem. The software runs--there's a "Reader Library" in the menu bar, but no windows will start.
The only time I ran into this symptom my laptop work machine, running in a docking station, was inadvertently configured for two monitors so my program was opening on a screen I couldn't see.

I would require a larger jump in technology before moving on from the 505. I installed Kartu's PRS+ and it allows for many options not present in the original design of the 505.

I have never used the Sony software with my reader. I have only used the Sony software to purchase the occasional book.

I have used Calibre (open source w/Mac, Linux and PC ports) exclusively to manage my ebooks and my reader since the first day I got my device 15 months ago. Find Calibre forum here.

I now have 1300 ebooks in my library and Calibre allows me to place books on my kids jetBook Lite ereaders too. I know that when I move to another ereader that my ebook management software will not be required to change to match the hardware.
