I find that HTML files take a looooong time to open.
The top and bottom lines are often cut off.

I really like the fact that the iLiad will increase or decrease the font size - the device takes a lengthy time to do this but once achieved the pages flip along quite nicely while reading.

I will continue to convert to PDF for my reading until such time the HTML issue had been addressed.

Note: my apologies for the poor quality scans - they don't do the iLiad screen justice - it really is a thing of beauty.


When i first read an .html file i found the lines cut off quite annoying.
A closer look revealed that when flipped to the next page 2 or 3 lines are repeated from the previous page. So all the lines are perfectly readable.
