I guess the baseline is: The Iliad is good for content that you can reformat to the Iliad's needs. For preformatted stuff it's shit
At this point, if you choose to purchase/produce content which can't be easily converted thats your problem.

The point she missed and which you convieniently cropped is that the zoom function is one of the features that is "coming soon".

She claimed that she read everything she could before purchasing. The mobile read forum is 4th on google when searching for "irex iliad". The lack of zoom has been known since it was first mentioned as a "missing" feature by Henrique, well before the iLiad shipped.

And before you jump my back: I usually print papers 2up (scaled down and 2 pages per sheet). That's roughly the same size as the Iliad.

I can read it when I print it out, but not on the Iliad. Reasons: The stupid page- and toolbar. The missing crop function. And xpdf's antialiasing that makes small letters a grey-on-grey mess. If I could turn antialising off or could adjust blackness (or gamma correction), it would be fine.
Functions which may well (and I hope) will come later.
