Best ebook store for PRS 700 other than Sony?

Trying to get ready for the imminent arrival of my 700. Can't use Sony now - I'm a Mac user and was just going to ignore the Sony eStore, but it looks as though their prices are much lower than other sites ... is that true?

I'm almost ready to install Vista on my mac so that I can run the Sony software, but it's starting to get expensive and complicated.

Should I just ignore the Sony eStore and buy elsewhere? Where's the best selection and price for a Canadian?

Fictionwise.com is generally the same price or better than the Sony store... especially if you are a club member. But you need to be willing to learn to remove DRM. Do you have access to any Windows PCs?

I set the sony software up on my work PC, but it won't connect to the internet - first downloaded software I've had problems with. So I have the Sony book store there, but still can't make it work.

what a pain.
