Well, that is strictly speaking true - you may call the component in calibre that has the job of talking to the reader a driver. But there's no driver on the OS level for the Mac, and I'm pretty certain it shouldn't be needed. Apparently the fact that the PRS-500 doesn't show up in Finder is not an indicator that something's wrong -- the PRS-500 probably doesn't support whatever USB spec is required for stuff to look like a file system to the computer.
