On a stock (that is, without PRS+) Sony PRS-505 with a 2 GB generic SD card, I currently have 1,564 ebooks on the card (1.3 GB free) and 674 ebooks in the internal memory (2 MB free).

Most are epub; a few are pdf. Not all are War & Peace, of course (though it is in there); some are short stories. But still, between internal and external memory, I've got over two thousand ebooks on there. Yes, it does take some time to scan the card when that is necessary (when it's been updated, usually) but since I don't usually update it more than once a week, that's no big deal.

Whoever at Sony told you that the PRS-505 can't handle over 200 books on external memory is an idiot.
