I changed the region in System Preferences - Date & Time, and changed it to English in Language and Text. But the thing that took a while to work out (after numerous reinstalls) is that you also need to change System Preferences - Language & Text - Formats. Change Formats to United States. Then it will work (you might need to reinstall after changing formats. Anyway it is working on my computer now!
Thanks both. I do have a Windows machine. I have a different set of problems over there. The Sony software was sort of working for awhile, but then I installed Adobe's software (because one of the sites I was using - was it the library? - said I needed this to authorize the software or the computer... anyway, after that every time I dragged a book into the device on the Sony software in order to load it up to the Reader the software crashed. I did a bunch of re-installs, and followed the rep's instructions to remove the software by manually deleting several folders, but still had the same problems.

The current issue with the Mac software is that when I go to "reinstall" it I don't think it's actually DOING anything - I think this because when I look at the "custom" settings it says that it will take 0MB of space to install everything. ;0(

I think I have to call Sony back. I will try the Mac Settings again, too, to be sure I didn't miss anything.

Geesh, Sony, get it together. This shouldn't be this hard.
