well, yeah.. but i was thinking mostly of the fact that 40-60mb un-OCR'ed PDFs take a bit longer to render, thus decreasing battery life.
anyway, what i really wanted to say: Apparently about 900 iLiads have been sold in the past month in combination with the newspaper subscription (NRC Handelsblad, about 250k subscribers)
