I look at the iLiad and I don't see twice the value of the Sony. If it was $100 more expensive, sure, it's slightly bigger and has a touch screen. But twice the price for 20% bigger screen? Sounds like the "wide screen" scam that LCD manufacturers are so fond of. Ever noticed that the widescreen version is 50% more expensive for 20% more pixels?

But I expect the OP can get a lot more for his iLiad on eBay or Craigslist than I'm willing to pay.
Well the Kindle has the same size screen and is $100 more so your price doesn't side with reality. The iLiad has a 60% larger screen based on area and there is no method to measure where it is only 20% bigger since even the linear measure is 33% larger. The touch screen mean notes and many other features. It also has WiFi and can be a host USB support such things as external keyboards and it is fully open so you get 3 built in readers and can add more things. It also has twice the gray scale levels. Now what would you pay?
