I have a couple of questions about the Illiad, if someone could answer it would be appreciated. It looks like a pretty fantastic tool, especially for someone like me. I'm a Master's student, and journal articles are the norm.

1) Can I attach a USB keyboard, or any keyboard to it? Is this even possible? Writing on a device like this would be a godsend. I wouldn't have to carry my laptop at all anywhere.

2) I downloaded some videos of page changes on the Illiad. There were fantastically slow. Will this improve with software updates? Is there any way of speeding it up, such as printing PDFs to smaller sizes or using JPG rather than pdf, or black and white rather than greyscale etc? Does the size of the PDF have an impact on page speed turning?

Thanks in Advance
