Why bother coding a Mac conduit...? The deskop application could be written in Java, or you could just use an standards based online store. Safari is quite good at rendering HTML.

Transfer the books over through SD card or make the Reader show up as a USB drive when plugged in.

I think Sony have shot themselves in the foot with this... At lot of early adopters are Mac users. And they've just locked them out of buying the Sony Reader...
