So I'm increasingly dissatisfied with my Sony PRS-505 for a number of reasons, and considering the Irex Iliad -- either the v2 machine, or the new wifi-less cheap model.

Questions:

I keep seeing references to "no suspend mode". Is this correct? If so, how long does the machine take to boot from cold? How do you deal with it in actual use?

How do you charge it? (Can it charge over USB)?

Is it a USB slave or master device?

(Yes, I've looked in the wiki and dipped a toe in the Irex forums -- there weren't any unambiguous answers there. My other questions -- about things like battery life, software, and file formats -- are already answered.)
