I use Windows. I know it's a religious issue, but I've never really liked Macs. I want to be able to get under the hood, and the early Macs were very hard to do that with. The usual fix for something was to reinstall the OS. I hear they've gotten better, but PCs are still cheaper, and what I use at work, so....
Word comes with a PDF writing option, which seems OK. I'm playing with Calibre now. I just picked up a cheap E-Reader (a Kobo) yesterday. There's a Borders near us being liquidated, and a friend who's working there said they had E-readers at 50% off. So I snagged one for $49.99. It's not wonderful, and doesn't really handle anything but EPUB well, but for the price... So now I'm taking all the stuff I have as PDFs and trying out the conversion option in Calibre. It's not bad so far.
Also spent far too much on books at the Borders. And then we made a stop at two used book stores in town on top of that. But it made for a lovely day out with my wife too.
