So your best bet would be a sony if you need DRM-protected Adobe support, Mobipocket can always be deDRMed (Well, almost always anyways)

My library clearly has many more books in pdf format than mobi. And the majority of their mobi books are also offered in pdf format but not vice versa. So if my primary source of books were the library, I would pick a reader with good secured pdf support. |

While I love my Kindle, I have a friend with a Mac who is considering the purchase of an ebook reader.
What problems might she have with conversion software like Mobi2mobi, Kindlefix and Mobidedrm operating in her Mac environment. Are there any other "gotchas" that might influence her decision to purchase the Sony 505 vs the Kindle? Would appreciate recommendations discussing both devices with a Mac environment. Thanks |

Most of the conversion programs you mentioned are written either in Python or Perl. Both of these are supported on a mac. The main thing is not what is supported on a mac but the need to learn a command line on the mac. A Unix like shell is supported but she will need to learn to use it for some of the utilities. Dale |

Whichever she decides to get, point your friend here and there should be some-one who can help, or at least point her in the right direction, if she runs into any problems. |
