I'm in the same fix -- I'm also a Mac user, looking for a good reading solution. But even if I could scrape together the cash for a tablet pc, battery life and the screen would make it unsuitable as a reading device.

I'm waiting to see what iRex ends up saying about DRM. There was supposed to be an announcement in October, so hopefully by the end of the year we'll actually hear something. I had been hoping that the announcement would be a Mobi reader, but the leak about the Amazon Kindle took the stuffing out of that hope.

(Unless... and this is wild, completely unwarranted speculation... iRex is working on a deal to become the "Kindle" manufacturer for Amazon.... Nah. Too much to hope for. )
