I have not used eReader in more than a year, but I am pretty sure this info is still correct. I would still be with them, but they don't have software for my new handheld (Nokia 9300), so I switched to a dedicated reader (eBookwise).
While you are right about the device limitations on Mobipocket, there are no limitations on the number of devices for eReader. Once you download a book you can put it on any device that their software runs on, and enter your name and an 'unlock code,' and start reading. The gotcha is that the code is the credit card number you used to purchase the book. Pretty safe bet you are not going to share that file with your unlock info.
The eReader software is available for PC, and it is one of the few with DRM that is available for the Mac!
