Well, the new Iliad seems to be a bit unimpressive so far. They lost some features and made it a bit cheaper, gave it a different colour and that was it.
I'm not sure whether I like the color, the lacking features I can live without, so that does not worry me.
The real question is whether there a re any real benefits (apart from the price) gained in this "book edition".

I'm thinking about...Battery Life...

UPDATE:

it still says "15 hours" on the website, so I guess there are no big surprises there.
