I know Iliad does have an USB port, and SDK. But that may be not enough. USB port provides 5V constantly. This means that an USB keyboard may require up to 5V to function. I suspect USB port in ebook devices is primarily to allow to connect them to computers, which then provide the 5V. I mean, it's for connecting the reader TO computer, not something to the reader, right ?
The iLiad can act as a USB host as well as a client. It is, AFAIK, alone in that capability in the eInk field.
