Basically what I was trying to say, excluding the iRex the CyBook or Kindle are the best devices for a 100% Mac person.

You could have a Kindle without a PC/Mac at all. You can do everything via whispernet... assuming you can get a signal. However, that is only true if you only get Kindle books. As I said earlier there are alot of other sources for eBooks... not all available via whispernet as are Feedbooks and Mobiread... although I expect that to change eventually.

But, managing books on the Mac isn't hard at all. Actually calibre makes it pretty easy.

Now, here is why I choose Kindle over CyBook. I have just read too many problems about CyBook support, firmware issues, DOA units, etc. Amazon is certainly much bigger than Bookeen and Jeff Bezos has pretty much said he will make the Kindle successfull.

So, I went with Kindle. (Replaced the Sony because I knew I wanted to switch to Mac. Although we still have 6 other Windows PCs in the house.)
