Yay, it arrived today.
I expected it yesterday and the tracking web site listed it as being with the courier. However, it hadn't arrived by the end of the day so I contacted the courier to ask what was going on. They told me that the regular driver was ill and that the replacement was a little slower and had ran out of time, so it wasn't delivered and was returned to the depot. I then asked if I could go to the depot to collect it but they said that it closed at 5pm (and I was calling at 5pm). I was mighty disappointed. It was supposed to be an overnight delivery. The iLiad was picked up on Thursday, and I just received it today (Tuesday).
Anyway, I have it now.
I was a little confused as to how to get it to connect to my work PC since it didn't come with a CD and my work PC (Win XP) didn't recognise it. However, I remembered reading something about companion software, so I was able to search for it and download it. It surprised me though that I could not find that software on the iRex web site. Maybe I missed it because I was trying to rush though.
I am on a training course today, so I was rushing with a limited break for lunch time. lol.
I now have a couple of PDF documents on it and I can see them full-screen. I need to work out either how to zoom in or how to reformat them though so as the text is a little larger. I can read it ok, but if I was to read for a long time then the print may be a bit small.
Well, I am excited to finally have my iLiad.
I am going to have a lot of fun tonight, playing with it and getting to learn some of the functions. I am going to have to find a CF card, but might not get a chance to this week.
DesiLinguist, it's great to hear that your reading amounts have increased. I am hoping that mine do the same, I am sure that they will, but I need them too at the same time, since I am going to have to prove that I didn't waste my money.
