I have bought my own Iliad a month ago, and I absolutely love it! Take it everyday everywhere. Now, I've promised my nephew that I'd buy him an e-book reader for reading/annotating textbooks (his school has .pdf textbooks available, most of which are a tad larger than A4 size) as a New Year present.

From what I've heard, the Hanlin V9t with touchscreen is coming up at the end of next January, but things may change depending whether the e-ink screens will be available on time or not. Also, pricing of the V9t is still undeclared, and I'm not willing to spend more than $700 for a reader. The features are still unclear as well, whether if it will be able to write notes and/or merge them onto .pdf files...?

But the most exciting thing about the V9 is a 10 inch screen; I'm still green with envy even though I already have an Iliad. So..that is why it's so hard to make this decision.

So, do you think that I should wait for the V9t or just go for the Iliad?
