Hi HarryT, If the device's storage space can be extended then the internal storage memory is not a issue. However since the Cybook has a comparatively small RAM, the amount of data the OS can handle at a time is quite limited. I doubt it Cybook loads file-data pages on demand. Means the max file size will not be very high or page loading will be slow.
But I may be wrong too.
The iliad is supposed to have good CF and bad SD card support. I was planning to get a SD to CF adapter to solve this as I have lots of SD and microsd cards around.
Hi dragonbone-san, strangely if you search for an iliad in amazon this device doesnt seem to show up. I think i got it through jp.msn.com.
I was just reading a huge bunch of conversation at irex forum about the iliad and people's gripes about it. Now this makes me more reluctant to get it.
It was interesting that a few days back there was a post about the Flepia demo'd in Kinshicho's Fujiya restaurant, along with the Iliads. I may drop in sometime cos Kinshicho is right along my travel route.
By the way the Iliad is officially available in japan, supported by
www.est.co.jp and
www.brule.co.jp.
But as is usual in such special cases, the price comes out very high.
In case i stay here for a little longer, I plan to attend the Tokyo International Book Fair. I read that the iliad and several others were demoed last year.
