(1) PDF support is fantastic. I am currently reading a novel that was not formatted for the iLiad but it's still very readable in landscape mode with continuous view.

Congratulations! I hope it'll work out great for you. The cover is very nice, but makes the device rather bulky to hold all in all - I tend to take mine out of the cover when at home.
If you need to create your own PDFs, I've found a page size of 12.1 x 14.6 cm to be the most perfect fit for the available screen space (the info bar at the bottom takes up a little space).

Yes,
Maus looks good, but then the paper version is only slightly larger than the the screen size. American graphic novels and manga have good sizes, but unfortunately not European comics, which are a little larger than A4/Letter (and also often in colour). I'm looking forward to the time I can get a large enough colour e-ink device to read my Asterix collection
