Hello,
I spent a few weeks reading around the forums here at mobileread.com and reading eReader reviews around the Internet. I really had a hard time deciding what to get. However, I finally made a decision early this morning (1am) and made my order. I ordered the iRex iLiad v2 from Dymocks On-line and the leather cover to go with it.
I am very excited now and feeling quite impatient. lol. The delivery is coming via courier from Sydney to Geelong. It may arrive tomorrow (if I am lucky), but it may not arrive until Monday.
My reasoning behind ordering the iLiad includes the fact that it has WiFi, a touch screen and that I can 'print' to it from a PC. I read a lot of PDFs (computer text books) on the PC screen at the moment, so the iLiad should be a bit easier on my eyes. I currently read paperbacks and ebooks on my Palm TX.
I am quite into gadgets (very geeky) and I liked that the iLiad can be updated and tweeked with software, so I am going to have a lot of fun there.
I am going to spend my free time tonight, sorting through my ebooks and deciding what ones need to be converted for the iLiad. I will have a problem though in that I have some secure eReader (for Palm TX) books. DRM hurts the people who buy legitimately, huh.
Well, I am glad to join you all here in the iLiad forum.
Jodi
