reader vs iliad

Hello everybody,
For sure I will buy one or the other ( or another one if somebody convince me! )
I'am in Belgium, quite closer to the Netherland than Japan and I agree to pay for the right stuff whatever the price ( in the range of the 2 items)
I have spend a lot of time reading posts and articles about these two ebooks.
Still after that, I'am not convince about one or the other.
Let's take a look a what seems to be the bads points of the Iliad:
poor reading time
slow update pace
poor or no service even under warranty on screen failure
no response from the dealer to queries

Now about the Sony:
uncompatibility to pdf, needs of complicated changes.
no hand writting
ghost effect between pages
needs of physical link to load file

Some questions:
Are those remarks still current or am I outdated?
any idea of how many of each have been sold?
or what's the ratio between the 2 ( x sony / x iliad )
How often does the screen breaks under NORMAL pressure?
finally what is your feeling and advices
Many thanks in advance,
sincerely, Fred1630
