My work doesn't have to be super portable, but taking a final read-through on the road would be much easier on a reader than with my laptop. I already own Word. But would this work for Mac?
If you'll be mostly reading, you can convert the doc to rtf (Word) to epub (Calibre) and read it on the Reader without rooting. Calibre is freeware and available for all platforms (Win/Mac/Linux).
