Hi,

Here's an interesting way to sync an Illiad if you have OS X... Not many people may know that iTunes 7 can track of pdf files just as well as mp3s and files downloaded from the Itunes store... If you drag and drop a pdf into iTunes it will be added to your "Music" collection. You can also fill out the fields to give your pdf a nice label.

You can also make a handy "playlist" to keep track of all your magazines.

Now here's the fun bit. If you use SyncTunes you can then sync that playlist to a mounted usb volume... The Illiad...! And if you change the destination folder to "newspapers" then when you press the "News" button you will be taken (more or less) to the pdf...

Its a bit rough, but its almost like having your own iTunes shop for the Illiad...
