The boot time just killed it for me. Now I find ways around it like starting it up and going to grab some reading snacks or if I'm heading to the train turning it on while I'm walking over so its ready to go when I'm in the train. The boot time is annoying but you find ways around it and the Iliad still seems to be the most versatile of the smaller ebook readers, my DR1000S hasn't come in yet so the jury is out on that one right now.
DR 1000S starts a bit faster than iLiad. Still slower than Sony 505, though. I'll take the time measurements asap and add it to the others.
Anyway, iRex' table functionality by far is unrivaled. And the huuuuge screen: Always a looker. Goooood choice!
