I'd rather get the PRS-505, but the person has only a Mac, thus my question:
If they purchase DRM-ed book from the Sony store, can they load them on the 505 directly (as it appears as a drive on the desktop) or use something like Calibre.
I doubt the above would work, but is there an easy way to load purchased books with a Mac?

If the person uses Bootcamp or VMWare Fusion (like me) anyway, this would be an option. Also it is possible to ignore the Sony Store and buy books using Adobe Digital Editons as DRM since this software also runs on the Mac.
Otherwise I would recommend buying a reader with software that offers cross-plattform support for DRM.
