So, um, if the Iliad were cheaper, would you have bought that, or haven't you considered it at all? I know the featureset and potential make this geek drool.

The iLiad was really tempting but the slow boot time, poor battery life and size made it a little less appealing as a fiction reader. Complaints about reliability, battery life and the older screen made me decide to wait and see for a work reader. I'm not thrilled with the price but it would be worth it with the right features. I want something with a larger screen that works well for PDFs. I need to be able to read diagrams and tables easily. Search and annotation are a must. iLiad seems the best currently available but it's not quite there yet IMO. I'm chomping at the bit for the new 9.7" devices.
