Glad I finally thought to check firmware revision level after reading that as originally introduced the PRS-505 did not support Epub files.Thank the internet for still having the needed info and the correct update file for the PRS-505. I also have a NOS PRS-350 on the way. I hope that this thread helps someone else.
It's been that long ago that it's easy to foget that to get ePub support you needed to update the firmware. But after using newer devices (including the 650), the version of RMSDK (ADE) for the 505 is rather poor.
