The screen is a bit larger, and there is native PDF support. Are your technical books in PDF format? You might want to try printing a page at the size that will display on the iLiad and see if you'll be satisfied with the display. You also have the option of viewing in landscape mode and scrolling, but you only see part of a page at a time that way. It works well for single-column text, but is kind of a pain for two columns or more, though there are variant PDF readers that can make this easier.
If you don't like the contrast on the Sony screen, though, the iLiad isn't going to be much different. So it depends on what you don't like about the Sony.
