Hey all!

I received my iLiad last night and I love it. It also sounds like it has tremendous potential. I'm migrating over from a Sony PRS-505 which I also loved but was pathetic with PDFs.

I installed the Dev Kit and got FBReader, the clock, and the iPDF bookmark update. I tried out using the premade PDFs to take notes and I love it.

Here are my questions:
1) Can the iLiad switch between open files? If I have a book open and then I want to add notes to a separate file, can I not do this?
2) Does the wacom screen have no pressure sensitivity? The text is just plain ugly to me
3) What else is worth getting for it right now? What are the Killer apps?
4) There occasionally seems to be ghosting. What's the deal?
5) I know there is no suspend mode, and while I think that is the biggest negative between it and Sony, I can live with it. How often are the software updates for this tool and what deficiencies can they improve on?

Dude, I love this device. It's slightly slow, but I think it is stylish.
