Sony Software for Mac?

Drezin · 03-03-2010, 09:09 AM

I'm thinking about getting a mac, but I was curious; does the Sony reader software and library work for a mac?

Yes, it does. (Though I had to manually delete my Preferences when upgrading to Snow Leopard to get the new version to work).

Or, if one doesn't use DRM files (I don't), one can just manually copy files over.

Calibre has a version for Mac OS X as well, which is quite well supported (judging by an early experience and the message traffic about it here).

Seconded. And I didn't have to delete any Preferences when Snow Leopard landed

Awesome. Not being able to use the software on a Mac wasn't going to be a dealbreaker, but it is nice to know I will be able to keep my library on it.
