The Sony software doesn't even run on those machines, right? So, even the Sony store is out?

There is no software I'm aware of which will do it on non-Windows platforms. Because you need a Windows system to purchase Reader books in the first place, the conversion tools which handle that format are also Windows-based.
An option would be to buy MobiPocket books, rather than Reader books. Mobi books can be bought on the bookstore website directly, and their DRM can be removed using a Python-based tool which is platform-independent. All you'd need would be a valid Mobi PID (the "serial number" of a Mobi machine) to use to buy the books and remove their DRM. You don't need to actually own a Mobi machine for this - you just need a PID.
