The Sony eReader PRS-500 - the one with the electronic paper as display - is now out in the USA. 350 US$. But the software for the transfer seems to be only for the PC and somehow I don't read anywhere that you can just normally copy files onto it to read them. I hope they will provide more details that the device can also be used with OS X or other systems - on the other hand, Sony is one of the main proponents of DRM and similar nonsense, so it wouldn't surprise me if the platform remains a closed platform. Then it's probably waiting for the competition ...
