I also have it connected to my Mac. The first time you attach it to the Mac, the Finder (think "Windows Explorer") shows an installer for the Mac version of the Sony Reader software. It works OK for me, and I think you have to use the desktop reader to initially authorise your reader hardware. Or at least you do here in the UK where there's no Sony Reader online store.

But the Sony Reader Mac software seems OK anyway.

So your dad's got no excuses
There are existing Sony Reader bookstores in Canada and US. For those, you can authorize the device without needing the computer. I connected to my Wi-fi, clicked the Reader Store icon on the T1 home screen, entered in my account info, and it was authorized. I already had an account. However, if you don't have an account, then I think it prompts you to create one.
