I just got my email today. The problem is how long is this going to take?
Depending on how long I might have to wait I will possibly have to purchase a Sony Reader to use on the job.
With the firmware updates being reduced to slower than a snail's pace, a battery issue that has taken close to a year to address, I cannot tell you how overwhelmingly disappointing that the iLiad has been. I have had this thing for close to 2 years - a veritable lifetime for electonic devices. Improvements have been so marginally incremental it's just flat out ridiculous. Other than the gee whiz factor, the iLiad & iRex are really just a very large (and expensive) joke.
The only things I would need improved on the iLiad that would make me happy are basically only two things; native bookmark support in PDF's & a faster start up time. The bookmark support was "promised" when the device was first released.
The ereader device idea is still not even close to being ideal - there is NOTHING out there that is not in someway either crippled with DRM issues, small screens, document conversions & a myriad of other niggling problems. Who would have thought that this would be so hard?
