Strange. You do have Word installed on your PC? BD uses Word for many of its format conversions.

Have you successfully used BD before? It has a slightly odd installation process - you need to first install BD 4, and then "overwrite" it with BD 5.

Calibre is a great program, but PDF conversion is not its strong point.

It's going to be a toss up between the 505 and the 600. If the screen contrast is most important to you, get the 505, but recognize that the PDF support is not as good as on the 600. IMO.
Actually, the PDF zoom isn't too helpful. On iRex iLiad for example I define the zoom once and it's valid for the entire document. For Sony, it's on a single page basis.
So you nicely can zoom into a graphic for example. But if you'd like to eliminate margins for example, it's not valid for the entire book, just for the single page you've made it on.
