Hello. Welcome.
I also "do" genealogy and I just carry my laptop with me rather than trying to get my materials onto a dedicated reader. As a touch typist, I find it much easier to take notes with a full-sized keyboard than with pen/pencil and paper, which is another reason why the laptop seems to be the best device for me to carry along. Now, I'm seriously considering getting an Eee PC as a replacement for my laptop. I'm not sure that I'll comfortably adjust to the smaller keyboard -- though I can readily attach a full-sized one when I'm at home.
But, back to discussion of reading devices. I'm a delighted owner of a Kindle. I bought it for recreational reading and would like to avoid turning it into any type of a workhorse -- even for a hobby like genealogy. Most of the books I've read on the Kindle have been science fiction and fantasy thanks to the generosity of Baen/Webscriptions, TOR, Corey Doctorow, and Steve Jordan. And, so far, I only have a couple of books on my Kindle that I couldn't read on another MobiPocket reader -- those few that I purchased from Amazon's Kindle store.
When you've got the device mastered, I'd love to hear more about how you utilize the iLiad in your genealogical research.
