I find page turns for many documents are quicker on the DR than the iLiad. If you're reading forwards, the DR pre-renders the page (as does the iLiad). Page turns take the same time on the iLiad v2 as the iLiad book edition.

You calibrate your stylus using a normal writing style on both devices. I don't do much writing, mostly sudoku and notes, but I don't have any problem with either DR or iLiad.
I use the DR templates at

The only annoyance I have with writing on the DR is very minor. Its a bit difficult to remove the stylus when the flipover cover's in place, as I'm thoroughly left-handed and the stylus is on the right. The elastic on the cover gets in the way.
If someone has calibrated their device right-handed (either iLiad or DR) and I write on it, then my writing is a bit off-line. As left handers don't see their writing as it appears on the screen anyway, that would only be an issue for right handers. And how many DRs will have a rightie and leftie both using it anyway? I'm an exception, as my job is working with ebook readers.

On my iLiad screenshots, if you click 3 times to make them large, you can see the row of icons at the bottom. The 3rd from the left, is a 'full page' view - it 'stretches' the original page out to fit the screen. I think I've worded that badly, so if anyone wants to clarify, please feel free!
