But you see I'm still inquireing about these things. Right now I scan my books with a 250$ Canon Scanner. A 300 pages book aprox. takes a day to do it, but I can read while I'm doing it...
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)
