Thanks!

Having owned both, I'd say that the iLiad's screen is not quite as good as the CyBook's. The iLiad has a better screen controller, which can display 16 grey-scales to the CyBook's 4, but the CyBook, which uses a 2nd generation "VizPlex" screen compared to the iLiad's 1st generation screen, has a "whiter" screen background, resulting in better contrast between the text and background. The iLiad's screen is still
extremely good, however!
