What's the difference...?
What's the difference between the V1, V2 and book edition of the iLiad? I'm considering getting one for reading medical books and because of it's annotation feature. I'm also considering the prs-700 since it is much cheaper and i believe its notes feature will be adequate.
The V1 used is about the price of the 700. Is it worth it? What's really the difference between the models? |

The main difference from the v1 to the v2 is a larger battery (v2 = 15 hours and v1 = 12 hours) and a slightly different case design to provide better support for the screen.
The main difference between the v2 and the book edition is that the BE does not have wireless and is a different color (silver). Other than that, they're basically all the same. Same hardware and they run the same software (except the BE doesn't have wireless software support). |

And they all have the same wacom touch screen? It's the annotations that I'm interested in. Maybe the book edition would be the better option if I can afford it that is.

The newest V2s and BEs have a Vizplex screen. Older V2s (and BEs?) and the V1 had a 1st generation screen. There is little difference in routine use, although the 1st generation screen can get washed out by direct sunlight during page refresh. The Wacom is the same on all of them.
The iLiads take notes by scribbling and the PRS-700 via a virtual keyboard. There have been reports of a Sony due out this year with a 9.7" screen (like that on the Kindle DX), see Sony with larger-screen e-reader this year, no color before 2010. |
