Not quite. Sony doesn't provide their drivers for Mac, and the Sony Reader on the Mac just appears as yet another USB Mass Storage device. This means that ADE won't recognize it as a Sony Reader, and you can't "Authorize" your Sony Reader with your AdobeID on the Mac.

This is not particularly pretty, Mac like, or something that I'm especially proud of, but if you do Authorize your Sony Reader on Windows system with the same AdobeID as your Mac system(s) you will be able to transfer content through the file system (ie not through ADE), and be able to read it on your Sony Reader.

For non DRM protected content, like the good ePub content from Feedbooks.com, you don't need to go through this hassle and can directly transfer the content from your Mac to your Sony Reader.
