Hi

I'm in Melbourne. To see an actual Iliad unit you'll have to go to George St Dymocks store up in Sydney. That's the only brick-and-mortar shop selling them, otherwise it's online.
You're right re size, it doesn't exactly fit into a shirt pocket. It does have a digitiser though, handy for taking notes (don't know how useful would it be in Baghdad though ).
I'm really peeved that you can't buy any of these gadgets in Australia. I asked a guy at SonyStyle why they don't stock the PRS-505. He says there's no market here for such product. Then he tried to flog me a plasma tv. Bless .

Thanks for the offer re Canberra, if I'm up there workwise, I'll drop you a line!

Cheers and take care in Baghdad!

If you are anywhere near the ACT I can show you both the Bookeen and the Sony so you can get an idea to compare. I intend to look at the Iliad at Dymocks first, but I have a suspicion that it is a little too large for my tastes.

Cheers
