Just got my Book Edition.

It's charging now, but at first glance: Wow! The screen looks so much more like a book than the 6" ones! The pages look kind of like the pages on a larger format paperback.

Slower than the PRS-700. Page flipping appears a tad slower, but not annoying. The screen-size more than compensates.

The screen of the iLiad is brighter and more paper-like. Like the 505, but bigger and with seemingly different texture. Crisp.

The iLiad's charging connector seems kind of flimsy - it looks like a SATA connector. A few too many bits to connect for my taste.

The UI is better than the PRS-505, but not nearly as good as that of the PRS-700, which in my limited experience is miles better than anything else available currently. (I am not big on having to pull out the proprietary stylus on the iLiad - prefer to let my fingers do the walking.)
