I just noticed sony already published their sources, and starts selling soon - for $350. If adding customized software to the Sony reader will be easy, that's where the crowd of open source developers will be. That makes the Iliad the dead horse.

I chose the Iliad over the Sony for three reasons: 1 - open source developments; 2 - larger display for A4 content; 3 - wlan to add content without carrying cabling around.

And right now it looks all three turn out to be false assumptions. I guess there'll be an Iliad on eBay, once user reports on the Sony come in.
