- Correct, you'd have to put Windows on your Mac for Secure Lit's to work.

- Secure Adobe Format - I believe they use secure PDF rather than ePUB for this, so probably not a sensible choice, as I don't think it can easily be un-DRMd and converted for the Sony.

Yes, they're PDF's. Also they haven't added any titles in that format since January of '08 so if you're wanting current or upcoming releases it's a no go.

- Secure Mobipocket Format - This is currently my format of choice as I can un-DRM it and convert to ePUB for my PRS-505.

This would be the best choice for your situation IMO.

- Secure eReader Format - Currently an unknown quantity .. I believe I can remove the DRM and convert these to ePUB/LRF, but I have to register my credit card with fictionwise and I'm currently just using paypal and micropay.

Are there any advantages to the eReader format over the Mobipocket format, I can't really find much info about how they compare. I don't really want to buy lots of Mobis only to find it isn't the best option.
Advice please.

The few free eReader files I've gotten & uninfected have had pretty messed up HTML that has taken some work to 'clean up' when converting to another format.
