Thank you all very much, ladies and gentlemen!
After receiving the Iliad I registered through the website.
Connecting to both wired and lan-networks was a breeze, absolutely no problems with the help of the wizard.
Had to copy the note-taking files manually through the USB connection, ofcourse but also no problems there, it worked the first time.
Put in a 64 CF card and it read the second time -had to re-insert- perfectly.
Rather long loading times when starting a large PDF file but nothing too fancy.
In the PDF files you can change the height of the font and that takes a bit of time also.
Ofcourse for now you lose the point where you were reading, every time you switch the Iliad off and starting up may take as long as 40 secs.
Well, thats about it really for now.
Fortunately I bought a new Canon camera this morning that I can try on the Iliad.
I shall try and post a couple of pictures on the forum.
