There are far fewer reports of a need to run pre-processing software on PDFs before reading them on the iLiad than on the smaller screens.
Another option is to wait for more large screen E-Ink options next year. But price and availability is uncertain.

I think I will wait for more large screen options. I suspect a large portion of the extra cost is the stylus and, like I said, I don't see myself using it much. So it makes little sense to pay for it.
Until then I think I'll get a little one to tide me over. It seems it's between the Cybook and the Sony Reader. Are there any reasons to go with the Sony reader besides pictures and price?
