As I plan to take the e-book reader always with me, portability is important for me and the DR seems a little bit to big (of course that means better readability) and heavy to me. Also did you use wifi a lot on the iliad (as the DR is missing this on the moment and I can buy also a cheaper Iliad without wifi).
Thanks in advance

I do not see much difference in portability and weight (I have the bad habit of reading and studying in bed and feel quite confortably with the DR). The real difference comes when you write mathematical stuff. The DR is as convenient as a sheet of paper while the Iliad is a bit cramped. An advantage of the Iliad is that you can add (delete) pages but i suppose this feature will be implemented in the DR as well. Although it is nice to have wifi, the third party browser (DILLO) that you can use in the Iliad has some limitations (I have used wifi mostly for consuklting Wikipedia).
