I used my new iLiad at university for the first time today. After reading a novel on it on the bus on the way to campus, I used it for note-taking in a history lecture, where it performed admirably. I've set it up with a 60 page PDF notepad for each subject. This means I don't have to wait for ages while a new page is generated. Things to bear in mind so you don't get in a mess in the middle of a lecture:

- lock the buttons before you start, or you'll find yourself in a different directory in the middle of making notes!

- since you've locked the buttons, it's best to tap the page number icon so that it shows each page number individually, then you can quickly tap the next page number to get a fresh page and not lose the flow of what the lecturer's saying.

My lecturer packs a lot into an hour, but I had no problem keeping up with him, and can still read my notes, which is the important thing!
