So for all you naysayers, doubters, and pessimists, guess what? One of our readers received word (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6552) from an iRex representative claiming that the iLiad device will become available through their webstore (http://www.irextechnologies.com/shop/index.htm) before the end of this month.

The price of EURO 549.00 exclusive VAT and shipping costs hasn't changed from what I heard back in March, so whether this is a good thing or not (hey, the longer you wait the more expensive it could get) is up to you.

Yamp! I want one.

So ět`s time for choosing files which I will read first on Iliad - time for preparing my collection. This will take some time. Croping pdf-files ...

Hey tribble, I use the commercial Adobe Acrobat. My university has bought a campus license. Isn't that cool? :rolleyes5 Open Source LaTeX [tex->dvi->pdf] in combination with Acrobat [croping, removing ads in magazines ...] is very useful.
Is there no OS application which can handle croping? I have never searched for. :vulcan:
