Yes I did love my Irex Illiad. But its life is going to be limited by the battery if i cant get a new one when it dies. how different is the e-ink on the edge vs the Illliad? My edge comes either today (hopefully or i should have skipped 2day) or Monday. I am excited because really i have been looking for a machine to replace my Irex for a long time and the expansion slots or lack thereof has always been an issue. We shall see.
