If you are thinking about secondary school students using this one other thing to consider is that you do need to be a little bit careful with the iliad. The screens can break and some people have been surprised at how easily they break. Try searching this or the irex forum for complaints about broken screens. It generally seems to be more fragile than say a PDA. There are various reasons for this. If you stick the iliad in a school bag with a sports kit and packed lunch things could get messy and expensive.
