Are these the only two worth looking at?
If you're mainly reading non-reflowable pdfs, then I'd go as far to say that at present, the iLiad (despite cost) is the best choice. iLiad screen is 140x203 mm - all the others are 90x120mm (although I think there was an older model Hanlin that had a larger screen ... might turn up on ebay or the flea market???). The extra screen space is very handy indeed for reading non-reflowable pdfs.

If you like scribbling on your docs, the iLiad is good for that too (I do my copy editing on the iLiad instead of on paper - I print the original doc to pdf, and then annotate the pdf on the iLiad).

If you're looking at using bibiographic software (you didn't mention what level you're studying at) - one of the iLiad users has done some on integrating their iLiad with how they use JabRef / BibTeX
