I think that the more publishers learn about e-book replays, the more likely that they will understand it's a very very small minority who pirate books. And that there are a huge majority of users that are frustrated by the rediculous efforts required to get an e-book in usable form for the long run. (There are also, of course, many who will even go out and buy a hardcover or paperback to try to make payment in the best way they know how, and then scan or find another copy of the e-book. But a lot just don't buy the ebooks, or will never buy a DRM book.)

But this thread is to share what's cool about the iLiad! Who likes it because of the big screen? The touch screen? The potential for multiple implementations of various reader software for a broad range of formats? To write your own software for it? To see more e-book hardware companies to be successful? There's a lot of reasons to like this device, so tell us why you like it!
