This includes sites like Fictionwise which will just tell you your reader is not activated if you try to download a Secure Microsoft Reader book through Firefox.

I am afraid windows will probably be the answer for a while. The good news is that Parallels runs windows really well on a mac.

If that's all we need MSIE for (that and Windows update) we are doing well.

That said, do not update your reader's firmware on a copy of Windows running under Parallels. Always use a true copy of Windows. You do not want the USB port emulation to brick your reader if it's not functioning like it should.
