At first I thought it was a great misfortune as I bought Iliad V2
just a week before they have released DR1000. But after some evaluation
I must say that I'm happy enough with it.

As I'm going to read mostly technical/programming PDF's
I think that Iliad screen & device size are just the right one.
Using the zoom functionality and the full screen mode of community
provided ipdf you get in landscape view more then 100% A4 print
font size.

From what I've seen DR1000 doesn't provide enough extra
functionality over Iliad to be a viable replacement and it's
bigger screen for reading PDF's is not needed.

I'm sure that in the near future we will see more and more devices
popping out with significantly better functionality, e.g. with
decent browser, color, thinner/lighter so that it is not worth to
change from Iliad to DR1000.
