E-Reader for Books24x7?

Hi everyone,

I am in the market for an E-Reader (based on e-Ink technology) which would allow me to browse pages on Books24x7.com. My work has a subscription to this site, and I have found it to be a great resource.

Obviously, to read pages on this site, I would need an E-Reader equipped with wifi or 3g capabilities. I would prefer both, but could settle for wifi capability only.

I have done some research by reading these forums and the E-Readers that seem to fit this bill is the iRex Iliad (1st edition, 2nd edition and DR1000 w/ wifi & 3g), and also the soon to be release Astek 9.6". Or perhaps even the next-generation Kindle (I'm not sure if this will have the wireless connectivity options that I need however).

Has anyone had any experience with E-Readers, especially for viewing pages on Books24x7. Are there any issues with how pages appear (e.g. how it fits on the screen, how e-ink handles the html display), compatability (e.g problems with handling javascript that may be embedded onto the page etc.). Although I would like other features such as multi-document support, touchscreen etc., my number one requirement at this stage is that it can be used to browse pages on Books24x7.

Thanks!
