So the question is..
1.) is the wifi of iliad v2 only available in the US and EUR and Canada? (like the amazon kindle's whispernet) or can i surf the net using my regular wifi connection? (I am living in the Philippines; Southeast Asia)
2.) what is the most flexible ebook reader that i can buy that supports novels/pdfs/textbooks in a really non-hassle conversion format?
I am really torn. I don't know what to buy.

For the avoidance of doubt:
iLiad's WiFi is not comparable to Amazon's Whispernet!!
iRex does NOT host any webshop.
WiFi mainly is used for firmware updates. Unfortunately, reports on this website state, that there won't be any firmware updates for iLiad any more, iRex focussing on 1000S instead. (No biggy, the firmware imho is "close to perfect").
There are some 3rd party applications, supporting WiFi. For example, downloading comics like "Dilbert" from the Web.
You can browse the web via 3rd party web browsers. But is this really fun, given the eInk technology?
