My wife asked me when I will let her to read books on the iLiad, since I don't usually put it out of my hands. (not in the near future).
I offered her to buy a Sony Reader, that is much cheaper.
She said that she doesn't want a smaller screen.
I argued that it is only a bit smaller (6 vs 8 inch).
She confirmed again that the iLiad is just of the right size and she would not like to use anything else that is smaller or bigger, it is just the most comfortable size.
Unfortunately I can't afford to buy an other one yet.
All in all I think IRex did a superior design with screen size, resolution, 16 grades of gray, tablet pen, and if people don't recognize the superiorness I can just feel sorry for them.
It costs only twice as much as the Sony, but offers much more. I especially could not leave without the possibility of taking notes, reading A4 PDFs (ok landscape), reading appropriately powerpoint presentations (again landscape). I don't think it is expensive neither - now as I live in Hungary I have to work much harder for it in order to afford - I wonder why people in US or UK think it is expensive.
So there are strengths on the iLiad's side, but of course it will take time for the people to realize the benefits.
