If you use Firefox, its fine. You can't use the PC software that comes with the iLiad, but you can just plug it in via USB and it shows up as a mass storage device for adding books from the computer.

As for Richard Herley, you should thank Puffball for that. I hadn't heard of him either until last week when he posted a link to his page!
Sounds good. Firefox is my browser of choice. I've also got an Asus eee PC which is a Linux computer but it is a chore to type something out on those tiny keys without making an error.

You're right Puffball was there first. I think you & I were among the first to donate to him.

I just got an email with Peter Watts and directed him to our board. Maybe he will begin posting as well.

Karma to you Sir! And thank you.
