For commercial books, it's a no-brainer that Sony is easily better positioned financially to contract with mainstream publishers than Irex, DRM or not. I don't see Irex having the will or the resources to change direction anytime soon.
I think iLiads time will come when the sources and the sdk are released. With the big screen and the stylus-support you can do all sorts of nice things
