JSWolf,

Newbie here and I'm thinking of getting the Sony 505 and I am a Mac user. I have a Mac mini at home and at work so I will need to transfer my ebooks that are in Word, RTF or PDF's into the Sony 505.

You said it will work with a Mac and it will show as a USB storage device. Does it come with a cable to do so? Will it recognize it right away or do I need to do some complicated settings? The sales guy at the computer shop told me that that I need to use the SD cards to transfer data to the reader from my mac. But he seemed quite unsure, probably because he sounds like he's a Windows guy and not too familiar with Macs.

Thanks.

Bren
