My understanding is that the Cybook Gen 3 will handle Mobi format ebooks with DRM. However - you are correct, as I understand it, in saying that we Mac users cannot read Mobi format ebooks, with or without DRM, on our computers. We are able to purchase and download Mobi format ebooks, with or without DRM, to our Mac computers for transfer at some point in time to the Cybook Gen 3, i.e., the Cybook does not need to be connected to the Mac for such orders and downloads from the vendor.
NAEB has not begun its bulk ordering process yet, so I have not been able to acquire a Cybook Gen 3 to be able to personally test any of this.
