Hello,

To prevent headaches, I have to take breaks from the computer and the crappy office lighting every few hours. Currently I either read a magazine outside or walk over to the donut shop a block over.

Laptops don't work too well in the daylight, plus e-book readers should be easier on the eyes than a laptop.

So to keep working during my breaks, I figured an e-book reader would be a good option.

I currently have a Safari subscription. I'm not sure if I currently use it enough to be worth the money, but every once in a while its search capability saves my bacon.

Since I already have the subscription, it'd be real nice if I could get an ebook reader that worked with Safari.

It seems to me that the iLiad or DR1000SW would work for Safari. Has anybody installed a browser on the iLiad, tried it with Safari and had a satisfactory experience?

I also read fiction (mostly SF) and pop non-fiction. However, it'd be very difficult to beat the price and convenience of my local library for that, so that usage would be very secondary.

Any other recommendations for me?
