well first of all...thanks for doing this.

Review questions?

Well...more photos would be great, especially pics of the Iliad next to the librie, paper and maybe an LCD screen.

You said the Mobileread page was offline...could you view it online as well? I'm going to use this as a book reader, but having occasional access to the web would be pretty cool as well.

The device has power management problems...very bad...why did iRex tell me (or rather tell branko) that the device will last for 10000+ pageturns when they haven't even implemented any power management at all?

Oh yes...another one...

if you read a book (say in PDF or TXT format) and want to jump to page 224...how is that organized? Can you search a book? how well (if at all) does annotoation work, and in which fashion?
