Correct Sony didn't release Mac software until August. ADE 1.7.1 was released in April. Although that's only half an excuse, as our next bug fix release will not have support for the Sony Readers on the Mac either. Integrating the driver support will have to wait until at least our next major release (the same one where we integrate RMSDK 9.1 - public date is sometime in 2010 - expect later rather than earlier)
However the Sony EBL software (for both Mac and Windows) that was released in August (and updated since) will do authorization of the Sony devices.

And because of that the Sony Library Software will do the Automatic Registration with Adobe and create an ID for that machine and then register the reader as part of that Mac/Sony created ID.

No this was added recently (both Mac and Windows). Sony's desire here to make it easier on the customers (as long as you just use their software), by not having to do a separate step of registering for an AdobeID.

That id is different than the ADE ID set up on the PC and so when the Reader is connected (after being on the Mac) the ADE(and Sony Lib APP) thinks it is registered to the MAC.

ADE and Sony EBL with share the activation information. However Sony's setup creates problems if you already have an AdobeID and it doesn't match your Sony ID (or potentially if your password doesn't match). They were supposed to ask you if you already had an AdobeID, but they didn't.
