Nah, I figure you have your Sony on order and are waiting for iRex to fall flat on their faces so we can all get our money back on our iLiad's.
Actually for my purposes the iLiad is superior to the Sony: bigger screen, Wacom for note taking. And I still think it's the better platform for the legally blind, assuming they ever produce consumer grade software for it...
I ordered the Sony for my wife to use to read her college text books on. She likes that it is smaller, lighter and can fit in a "cargo pocket". She's also less intimidated carrying around a $350 device we can get replaced overnight and is backed by a company that understands "customer service".
I can OCR and re-flow her text books into non-DRM BBeB files for her. I'm highly skeptical of the 7500 page turns per charge figure (the Librie never got 10,000 turns per set of batteries) but I'm guessing it can get more operating hours per charge than my iLiad can right now.
