Now I'm faced with the decision of staying with the Cybook or canceling my order with Bookeen and going to BestBuy and purchase a Sony ebook reader and try to get it to work with a Mac for both DRM and non-DRM ebooks. :|
Brad,

Now I'm being facetious here... "Best of Luck!!!"

Okay, I'm back to my normal self...

Look, if you want to try to get a Mac to work with the Sony PRS-505, go ahead, but know this. It's PC software doesn't work on a Mac. BookDesigner, which can turn non-LRF ebooks into LRF files, doesn't work on a Mac. Sony hates Mac users.

How do you think we feel over at Not Another E-Book? We finally managed to get all our corporate registration paperwork in line, got our merchant account set up and have just two more PHP scripts to finish before we can bring our e-store online and we just found out - via my *happening* to drop by the Bookeen BLOG - that they're sold out - AGAIN!!!

But if you're a Mac user or you want to have the NAEB package deal, you'll just have to wait as we will.
