My wife used the iLiad to read a paper send to her by e-mail as a preparation for a discussion about the paper (actually a series of scans of a chapter from a book). I put the chapter through OCR as well as produce the pages as the scans on the iLiad (the scans were send as PDF)
She liked it a bit better than reading from the computer monitor.
