Hi I have posted elsewhere in the intro part of the forum about the Sony reader, I have since decided this is not the device for me (not enough content available, plus the windows only connect store). I am now looking at the Cybook, the only problem I have is I am using a Mac, but I understand that connecting the device will make it show up as a USB device and I can drag and drop books to the internal memory or an SD card. What about buying books in Mobipocket or other formats, can I just download them to my desktop and drag them into the Cybook or do I need some sort of windows download software like with the Sony reader. As far as I can see the Cybook doesn't ship with any software for connectivity is this the case and will I be OK with a Mac. I neglected to mention I dont want to read books on my laptop so dont require the Mobipocket reader software.
Thanks in advance for any help.
