1. No
2. yes, page numbers at the bottom of docs. Bookmarks I'm not sure if they work, you can create links on the TOCs and they work
3. Touchscreen is great on the old Iliad, dont know about new
4. Bootup time is show stopper for me. It takes about 60secs to load when you first start and since the battery life is poor you can't just leave it on all the time. I also have the sony 500 and I love that it starts so quickly. Also loading documents takes a long time depending on file size 30 secs is pretty common on mine for textbook type of docs. Also for some reason my Iliad will jump 5 pages in documents when I want it to only jump 1, there is some sort of bug in PDFs that I cant figure out, no rhyme or reason for the jumps just random

@Blackvoid: If you are writing on a document its easier to get a PDF out of the ereader so you can pass it on to someone else. Most handwriting software is terrible and can't recognize many peoples handwriting so I would rather I got a doc that had my words than one that tried to translate it and outputs jibberish.
