Okay, I've used the Sony 500 and 505 and now I'm thinking about moving on up to an Iliad, mainly because I tend to proofread texts, and the bookmarking facility on the 505 just isn't really sufficient for this. I have some questions about the Iliad that I haven't really been able to find answers to on the forums (perhaps I am missing them).

1) Does the Iliad handle .html0 BD files reasonably well? Can it be set to recognize that file type as HTML and open it? This is typically what I have saved previous projects as.

2) How does the scribble mode work- is any page that you write on top of saved to a scribble list? Can you easily navigate through pages that you have annotated?

3) Is there any support or hack for Chapter navigation with HTML similar to the way chapter navigation works on a Sony Reader?

4) Can the handwriting recognition software be used to edit HTML files directly on the device?

5) Is there anything else that you would think someone considering this purchase should know?

Thanks for your advice!
