The more I read about this, the less attractive it seems -- heavy, slow (60 seconds to boot up), recharge through USB, capacitive buttons, doesn't keep up with stylus input. Also, it is apparently optimized for A4, which makes it somewhat less useful for US consumers. The biggest drawback for the current Iliad, I think, is that it doesn't have a sleep function. If I don't turn it off, its battery is depleted very quickly. I assume the same is true of the 1000S.
