I'll add my thanks to this thread. I just picked up my 505 yesterday, although I too have been lurking here for quite a while. Quite likely, without this forum, I would not have purchased my reader, since I own a Mac, and was aware that the Sony software would not work on it (I do use Parallels, and have installed the software, but if I wasn't able to transfer books natively, I would not have made the decision to buy).

Thanks to the great people here, I found out about Calibre (it works great Kovid!!!!), and CLIT/ConvertLit GUI (these too work flawlessly in Parallels). I also would not have known that a PSP adapter works (I owe someone a beer since I saved a few $ here

).

Again, a hats off to everyone

thanks

Tom

(as a postscript, I'll add that I did order the Sony backlight/cover after reading some reviews and seeing some oics posted here)
