Can anyone give a pointer on how and where to start hacking the 505?

That's debateable.
I'm impressed on how quickly igorsk has updated the flasher. Seriously great work. What part of it had to be changed from the 500? Will the 505 flasher work on the 500, or will there be a way to use a single download for both devices? |

The 505 is better because of a bunch of things...
1. The vizplex screen 2. the USB interface 3. The new menu modes for dealing with a lot of content 4. More internal ram 5. The buttons on the right instead of the left (IMHO |

I actually love the clock hack on 500 for two reasons: 1) it remembers the last time when I used the reader, something like 2:13AM. 2) you can see how long you have dwelled on one page when you flip to next, like 10:54AM - 10.49AM = 5 minites. |

The 500 hacks I miss most with the 505 is the smaller font size and the clock. I do like the page turn hack, but if need be, I could live without that one. I'm not sure I'd need to remap the page turn keys like I did on the 500.

Adding support for RSS feeds idoesn't really need SONY. All the individual tools are there, you just need to combine them.
