Yes.
You do not need windows computer to put content on the Reader.
As long as your operating system of choice can use a memory card reader/writer ...
You do need to connect the device to the Window computer only once, to authorize your device, and possibly again when you want to upgrade firmware.
This is indeed correct. After activating mine on a Windows box, I am able to use it fine on my Mac. Also I've been using Calibre to do some conversions when needed. But I definitely like the build of this device. Let's me read books whenever I want without having to lug a bunch of them around at once.
