I’m very close to placing an order for the iLiad as it is much better suited to displaying journals than the Sony reader! However, I also want it to display recent eBooks purchased online etc. Now is it true that due to DRM this will not be possible with the iLiad? Is there a simple reliable way for people to read DRM content on the iLiad?

Please please give me an excuse to buy the iLiad!
Take a look at the FAQ page. DRM is not supported, but there seems to be work to get agreements with Mobipocket and possible eReader. I think they use "soon", and since the formal introduction wasn't slated until this month...

Negotiations can always break down, but at Mobipocket support under suggestions there is also a hint that there might be an announcement.

I'm hoping the lawyers get out of their own way so that customers can start buying (hint to Mobipocket & iRex, if you are lurking).
