There are various apps for iPad and iPhone, but I already know about them. Epub readers for mac. Scrivener can compile and output ePub format, but I don't think it can display them for reading on your Mac.

I have a Sony SE Laptop, which has a RealTeK RTS5209 PCIe Card Reader, but there are many other types and brands of laptops that have the same type of card reader such as the entire Sony ‘S’ range and the HP DV6 6020.
If you own a laptop with this device I am sure that you have been frustrated by lack of OSX Lion support for this Card Rader.
The card reader in our systems has hardware ID: 10ec:5209
This equates to the following:-
Realtek Semiconductor Co, RTS5209 PCI Express Card Reader Chip Set

Install Drivers For Smart Card

So the big problem here is that the device is PCIe based, Apple have never used a PCIe based card reader, they have always used a USB bus based device thus there is no existing driver.
Getting any info on the Realtek 5209 chipset has proven difficult, I cant even find it on RealTek’s own site, however after a bit of research i have been able to find out the following specs:-
  • Secure Digital TM (SD), SDXC, SDHC, MultiMediaCard TM (MMC)
  • Mini-SD, Micro-SD (T-flash),RS-MMC, Mobile-MMC and MMC-micro
  • MMC 8-bit date mode
  • SDXC and MSXC up to 2TB
  • Support SD3.0 SDR-104 (208MHz), SDR-50 (100MHz) and DDR 50 (50MHz)
  • MSPRO-HG Duo 8-bit date mode
  • xD-Picture Card TM (xD) includes Type M+, Type M and Type H
  • Compliant with PCI Express Base Specification Revision 1.1
  • Compliant with SD Part 1 Physical Layer Specification Version 3.0
  • Compliant with SDIO Specification Version 2.00
The important thing to note is that it is compliant with the SDIO Spec V2, which is essentially an API for card readers.
On the RealTek download site there is a Unix/Linux Driver available here: -
http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/dow .. Down=false
Install drivers for smart cardThis Linux Driver is now just about supported by all flavors of Linux including Ubuntu and Fedora. The Driver is known as RTS_PSTOR and if not included in your Linux Distro you can download the sources and compile it. The package includes a make file . etc so its reasonable straight forward to install.
I’ve tested RTS_PSTOR under Ubuntu and Fedora and it works great.
So we have Linux based driver with sources that work.
The next problem is to start to figure out how to port it to OSX.
After much research and hunting in various forums I found that JMicron also manufacture a PCIe based card reader chipset known as the JMB38X and it like the RealTek chip is available in several versions but the one that is most interesting is the JMB385 this is essentially almost the same device as the Realtek RTS5209. The Device summary for the JMB385 can be viewed here: -

Like the RealTek device it to is compliant with the SDIO V2 Spec and like the Realtek device, JMicron have a Linux driver available, the exciting news about this device is that the Linux Driver has been successfully ported to OSX. The project can be reviewed along with the OSX sources here: -

There is another open source PCIe Card Reader project which may be of help - please see this link
http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php?topic=972.0
Unfortunately I am no low-level device driver programmer but it seems to me that by combining the two projects we might be able to get a working driver. I’m not expecting it to be easy, I’ve got a little C++ application programming experience (but not on OSX) so its going to be a bit of a learning curve for me so if any of you guys want to pick up on this project please feel free. I’m happy to be an apprentice if any of the more experienced device-driver programmer’s want to take lead.
I am open to everyone’s advice and guidance on this project.
Cheers
JayIn Sierra a new smart card component has been introduced: pam_smartcard. PAM is Pluggable Authentication Modules.
The source code is available at macOS 10.12 Source and is part of the pam_modules component.

pam_smartcard

The pam_smartcard(8) manage is:
I guess this is related to the introduction of the native support of PIV cards in Sierra. See 'macOS Sierra and PIVToken source code'.
The pam_smartcard PAM module is used by two services by default:
  • authorization_ctk
  • screensaver_ctk

SmartCardServices

Another interesting man page is SmartCardServices(7). Here is an extract:

PAM PKCS#11?

Since PAM is available in macOS maybe the PAM PKCS#11 module can be used without too much changes? This module is for GNU/Linux but may be adapted for macOS.
In this case, adding support for smart card login in macOS, if you already have a PKCS#11 library for your card, should be easy.

Conclusion

The use of smart card in macOS for high level services (like authentication) is easier in Sierra, at least for PIV smart cards.
I imagine that the support of other smart cards models will be proposed by third parties 'soon'.
