The iLiad is a difficult device to get the most out of without investing in some Linux skills. Here are some suggestions:
1 & 2. Check out the "Feedbooks" service and the iNewsstand software. In short, you install iNewsstand on a PC connected to the internet, and have it subscribe to RSS feeds or select books. Then when you sync your iLiad, you get your NewsStand updates. You can sync over the wireless connection, but you still need a PC on the network to get your books.
3. Getting the browser to work and opening up your iLiad to be able to connect to internet hot spots is going to take some time and research so you know what you're doing and what the risks are to opening networking on your iLiad that way. Someday hopefully it will be simple, but currently it isn't. However, if you'd like to ask some specific questions about how to get started, please feel free and we'll try to help.
If you really want a device that doesn't require learning Linux to use, I'd honestly suggest a different device. I really enjoy my iLiad, but it's not the most user-friendly device out there.
