Iliad or Sony for heavy reader?

Hello all!

Ebook newbie here. I'm thinking about picking up an eBook reader for my wife for xmas this year. I think I've narrowed it down to the Iliad and the Sony, and was looking for some advice. My wife mainly reads sci-fi and fantasy, and is a voracious reader. If I were looking for a reader for me, I'd probably go with the Iliad, because I'd want the larger screen, but I'm worried about the lack of suspend-to-ram.

My wife will pick up a book and read it at ANY TIME! We'll be watching TV, I'll pause it to go get a drink, and I'll come back and find her with a book in hand.

Price isn't really a huge concern. DRM is a concern, because I'm a stout critic, but on the other hand there's a lot of DRM-free eBook content out there (and formats that can *ahem* become DRM-free).

It's a shame the Mentor has been pushed back to next year, because that looked like the best of both worlds.
