I thought it was charging on my Philips USB charger/battery pack but I could be mistaken - I'll attach it later to try. EDIT2: If I attach my Philips universal charger/battery pack it shows the USB host icon on the 505. I _appears_ to be charging, but I can't be sure yet.

That's pretty interesting... now I'll wait till Mentor's comes out then I'll decide which one to buy depending from the price, even also 6" Mentor's should be pretty similar with 505 having the Adobe DE...
BUT, I read somewhere for 505, a PDF can be converted into a LRF format.... also if it's a PDF with images? like for example a mathematic book?...And does it read well once converted? |

Uhm, at least, since I know 505's has Linux as O.S. is there something like a Foxit Reader for PDA's for Linux which could read directly PDFs?....

PDFLRF. Turns the each PDF page, text and all, to an image, crops its boarders and boldens the text. The result is a very readable PDF but it's file size is exploaded. Calibe(PDF2LRF): Which ONLY converts the text of a PDF to a LRF. =X= |

So really it's mostly a question of how much work do you want to do to install your own apps . |

If you are looking for a charger system, I recommend the iGO system (www.igo.com). I think it was JS Wolf who turned me on to it. It consists of a main charger and then you buy plugs designed for the items you want to charge. Now when I travel I use the iGO set to charge my Sony 505, my cell phone, and my MP3 player. All I need do is swap the plugs rather than carry each items charger.
