Adobe DE works on the Mac, but you have to authorize the PRS-700 for your Adobe account using a Windows PC (a one time process).

The other option is to buy MOBI or eReader ebooks, strip their DRM and then format shift them with Calibre. For MOBI you need a PID, and again getting one from a Windows PC is typically the simplest approach. You don't need a Windows PC to buy or download MOBI (at least from mainstream sites), just a valid PID.
