The only flawed case is this one, the fact that it seems not to plug correctly on older versions of Mac... Of course, it must be addressed (and as you can see, Pocketbook does address it), but in my opinion it's overkill to put a "list of OSes in which it works", as the only issue comes with Tiger 10.4 in Mac. In fact, a footnote saying "beware with older Mac versions" is fair enough.

Nevertheless, you bring a good topic: Pocketbook's literature is sadly lacking in English. Even developers have complained about the lack of documentation.
You can't possibly believe that a device's "System Requirements" is an unusual thing to list. Just about every piece of software and hardware has system requirements. I don't think...

System Requirements: Windows XP or above, Linux Kernel X.X or above, and Mac OS X 10.5 or above

...is that hard to list.
