I sold the iLiad before mobipocket was released. My reference point was pdf which was definitely slower. I thought the iLiad was a great device and bought it when it was first released expecting to ultimately get a suspend feature. When it became apparent that would not happen I decided to move to the Sony.
For these devices to be successful they really need to eliminate the technology from the users perception. Having to wait a minute for a device to turn on became frustrating for me, particularly when traveling on international flights where I will typically start and stop my reading frequently.
I really like the content delivery service for the iLiad and if they can improve the hardware side I think they will have a winning customer experience and I'll probably buy another one.
