Despite being primarily a Mac user, I have been using the Sony software via platform emulation since I got my Reader 505 in Sept 07. (I have to use Windows for a number of other things, so it has not been too much of a hassle.)

I am about to get another ebook for a *very* non-techie member of my household, though, and need a Mac-based tool to minimize my expected tech-support time for the new ebook reader.

Calibre? Stanza desktop? others? Recommendations? Issues? Limitations?

I am particularly concerned about possible issues around new firmware upgrades and library continuity.

Thanks for the help!
