I had an iLiad and sold it. As you say, it's very flexible, but I found it just too big to conveniently carry around with me, whereas my Gen3 is with me everywhere I go. I didn't find the iLiad's battery life to be an issue; what
was an issue for me was the 45s boot time - that feels like an eternity if you want to read for only a few minutes at a time.

I've contemplated the Gen3 for a while, but after reading about the consumer support stories on this forum, I've opted for the Sony.

Bookeen have radically improved their support recently. Seems to be fine now.
