The new Reader software indeed works on 64bit Mac OS X Lion.

Personally I find the new UI less unintuitive and it forces the user
to _sync_ with their Library, most of the direct device management features
are gone!

- double-clicking on a book, no longer opens it, no more preview, no alt-click contextual menu
- the drive explorer view is no longer present for dragging books into the device directly
- the software won't even let you add, delete directly from the device, nor are collection management.
- giant icon and text size (ala Skype 5 for Mac) takes up too much screen real estate,
- software insists the user to connect to the store on startup.
