The device on-screen toolbal has a button to bookmark, and another to show the list of bookmarks of the book you are reading.
I think i'm remembering correctly, my device doesn't have it yet but i saw it working on Alex device which had the latest OS version.
It seemed easy enough

Do they have a dictionary implemented? Would be very helpful some times.
Anything like Calendar, Addressbook and usual PDA stuff planned or integrated?
|
Right now it isn't planned. Irex was aiming at making only an ebook reader, so no "PDA" functionality was to be included.
But, it has been mentioned a lot so they are planning of including it till the end of the year.
The device doesn't bring a dictionary because they consider it "content" that publishers could sell. I got the impression it could be offered through IDS after the lunch, but it was more of a maybe than a certainty.

Can you stor stuff directly on the Iliad by ftp or the like?
|
The device can be connected to a PC and is recognized has an usb disk. I have no idea if this allows it to be shared for ftp :P
Could you give an example of how i can check this?
Also, the device wasn't planned to access a library in the PC by wireless. But guess what? Since it has been talked, it's also one of the things that is being studyed

Can you install your own fonts? If so, which type of fonts (TTF, PS, OpenType)?
|
I can't install fonts on my device, but i can create PDFs with any font i want. See picture with a list of fonts
It's one of the things they are working on the final version, but it seems it is giving them some problems. I'll have to ask to see how it working :P

Can you provide your own styles for XML files?
|
Do you mean if i can create my XML file with my styles? Or if i can change an existing XMl to what i like?
Yes to the first, anything that a browser can do the Iliad should be able to do, if you are thinking XML only without use of plugins.
The second is trickier since it would require a lot of convertion (which can easily go wrong).

You wouldnt believe, how jealous I am of you at the moment
Thanks for your work Well, fun would be more precise, wouldnt it?

Yes i have heard that a lot recently
Like Alex told me, if the market doesn't show some support for this Black and White device, then there won't be any faster/color/video devices in the future.
I'll just do what i can so it won't come to that.
