Its very hard to get around the txt reflow in pdfs which is annoying. I usually use book design or adobe to rip the text and then copy any charts or tables as pictures so they still show up right. Too bad Iliad doesnt support lrf as all my books are in that format right now so I'll be starting from scratch on that front.
I find it very odd that no one has created a full letter sized eink device yet. The 6 inch reader has become the standard which is fine for most people but how many of the same device at the same price do people need. Can none of these companies think outside the box and create a full sized reader. The device is far from ever going mainstream as people cant/dont read (makes me think of a Chris Rock joke) so why not create all different sizes to capture all points of the market instead of a feeding frenzy on the same segment?
Then again for the past two years I've been reading articles of the color e ink device coming out but like Annie its always 'the sun is coming out tomorrow' with it which means it'll never happen at least not for under 20k. I'm hopeful for the Aztek reader but I have a strong feeling that it wont see the light of day before 2009 and I can't wait that long for it and the specs seem questionable at best, either they found a time machine to create the ultimate device or someone's got a roll of quarters in their pocket.
I guess I'm coming around full circle because the Iliad made me want to get a reader, then I got the sony one because it was cheaper and now I'm buying the Iliad anyway because I like the technology. I dont know which company to thank for making me get an ereader but its been the best tech decision I've made in a while
