I did a test today to see if this is possible, and I was very pleased with the results. I've looked around and I haven't seen anyone post about this, so I thought I would mention it in case there are other Mac users who need to do this. You won't need to install python (it's already there) but you will need to install PyCrypto. Here are the steps:

Prerequisites:
A Windows PC
A Mac PC
inept[epub|pdf] on each platform, with PyCrypto installed
Adobe Digital editions on each platform, authorized to your email address

1. From the Windows PC (It can be a virtual machine) setup Adobe DE, and extract the 'adeptkey.der' using ineptkey.pyw. I tested this with the current version and 'ineptkey_v3.pyw'.
2. Copy the key to your Mac, into your 'Documents' folder.
3. Rename the '*.pyw' files to '*.py'.
4. Double-click the python script, it will create an applet. Open the applet and use the key from your Windows box. I've tested using 'ineptepub_v2'.

From this point, it's exactly like using the inept tools under windows. The only thing missing on a Mac is the key extraction. This will let you buy ePub books from stores like Sony and use it on your PRS500.
