I have not seen anyone report on this from direct experience, but all the EInk readers (like the Elonex) that support Adobe Digital Editions will almost certainly be Mac compatible except the Sony PRS-505 and 700. What "compatible" means is that you can register the Elonex reader to your Adobe ID using Adobe Digital Editions on a Mac. Once you have the Elonex registered, you download Adobe PDF and ePub ebooks using ADE on your Mac and then copy them over to the Elonex via USB (it looks like a USB memory stick to your Mac). For ebooks without DRM (encryption) you can download them any way you want to your Mac and then again use USB to copy to your Elonex.

Note that with the Sony PRS-505, you need to use a Windows PC to register it on your Adobe ID but that is a one time operation and from then on it is just as Mac-compatible as the Elonex.
