Um, the 500 does not support the "eReader" format. Are you sure it wasn't "Sony Reader" format... which would be BBeB or a .lrf file? If so, it will work on a 505. I don't think BoB even sells eReader format.

Um, your question here is a little confusing. The 505 reads all the formats that the 500 reads. The 505 additionally supports ePub and also Secure Adobe ID DRM for ePub/PDF.

So, anything you can read on a 500 will work on a 505 without conversion.
