Having travelled across the pond to New York to see the PRS-700 (and to have a holiday). I was disappointed by the screen, compared with the 505 it is fuzzy and the side light isn't amazing. I loved...

Iliad V2 or Digital Reader 1000S: which would you choose?

So given the choice of the Iliad V2 or the 1000S (both retailing at 599 EUR), which would you choose?

Is wireless important to you or is screen size the selling point?

Tough call. My Iliad just died, 400 Euros to repair. I'm waiting to see what the Plastic Logic looks like and would like to see how usable the new Irex product is. Can I live without a touch screen?

Cheers for the link Dirk, the Iliad isn't trying to connect to IDS. It only does it when I'm flying, so it's either pressure changes, 'firm' landings or something completely different. I think I may...

A rare event certainly, only started after it went away for repair. Nothing worse than opening up the cover to see the screen has turned black and the thing won't startup. Just have to see if it...
