I am thinking of getting someone an ereader as a Thanksgiving present.

Debating between the PRS-505 and the Kindle.

I'd rather get the PRS-505, but the person has only a Mac, thus my question:

If they purchase DRM-ed book from the Sony store, can they load them on the 505 directly (as it appears as a drive on the desktop) or use something like Calibre.

I doubt the above would work, but is there an easy way to load purchased books with a Mac?
