I also agree regarding the crop of iRex products. After recently receiving a gen 1 model of the iLiad, even with an 8" screen it still a marked improvement over any 6" device regarding reading standard A4 size PDF's. I was actually quite impressed with how much easier it is to read, especially using the full-screen patch to the PDF reader. While the 10" device would be that much better, it's still quite expensive so you could probably go with the 8" model and still be OK. On the other hand, you can still get a full-function TabletPC for what their devices run, or cheaper, and enjoy it in color!

Even with my latest gadget, I'm still holding out for the Plastic Logic reader... can't wait! (I've given up on the Flepia. Who knows where it's at now. sigh...)
