I understand that different people are going to have different takes on the issue.
I'm more interested in requesting native support than indicating to vendors that I'm satisfied with buying a PC or running a VM.
I would contend that Sony would have sold more Readers if they offered Mac support. Mac users tend to be wealthier or at least willing to pay more
Sony had a similar experience with their PC enabled minidisc players. It took them forever to introduce Mac support and of course by then the Mac users had gone with the iPod.
Yes in terms of total market share, Mac users are a small number. But I'd suggest that in terms of potential customers that Mac users are disproportionately larger. And the Sony Reader could use every customer it can get
