Thanks Trapnel! English is no problem - I normally live in Australia...
The Iliad did sound perfect, except that it seems to be unsupported by iRex due to its age. I do like the DR800, and am curious to see what they do with the annotations. How does it work on the Iliad? Can you export your notes and annotations? If so, how does it work? And how do you like the 'print-to-Irex' function - does it work well? Do you find the weight an issue when reading?
Sorry to jump on you with so many questions...if my chapter takes long enough to 'fix' the Irex might have all the features before I'm ready to buy :P
