Thanks a lot. I very much like what I saw. Indeed the Iliad is a beaty in such a genuine leather case.
About being a new user. That is no different with me. I have just aquired the Iliad a few days ago and did wonder that most of the parts have never been taken out of the package; this baby seems not to have been used at all.
As soon as I have my case I will be happy to post the details here.

I have been wondering how to install third party applications. The first step according to the WIKI (here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Iliad_Software) is "to request shell access from iRex". This of course cannot be done anymore with the company non existent. Now I am curious if one can skip that step altogether or is foregoes the ability to install third party applications?! The second consequence does sound a bit odd.

Have you installed any third-pary-applications?

PS: The applications I am interested in are a dictionary on the Iliad; I have that on the Asus and really miss it with the Illiad. A dream would come true, if i were to connect the Iliad with an external keyboard via the USB-port (something that apparently is possible through a third party application) and install a wordpad for writing.
