The device is quite well-designed, but the lack of page turning buttons at the right side is a sorry thing.
The OS is very easy to use, and certainly intuitive.

How about with a Mac?

It gets recognized as an external drive, and that's also the case on a Mac.

.mobi-dictionaries can be used, but there currently isn't an easy way to look up words while reading a book in the stock firmware. There's an experimental lBook-firmware version available that adds this feature, and OpenInkpot is also supposed to support a certain dictionary format.

I have a BeBook and I'm more than pleased with the customer service and communications. It might take a while for the support to react, but the forum members of the BeBook forum provide a lot of answers, and once you get hold of technical support, they're awesome.
I got my BeBook replaced in the past (within warranty), and it wasn't a problem whatsoever.
