I regularly use my chm converter to convert chm files into Iliad html compatible books. They work fine...

Using the HTML browser for web-browsing is not supported by iRex at the moment...and there is no complete and easy-to-use community method for this yet slthough it is possible.

Yep there is... Use the shell-script hack to start-up wireless and use a pre-generated html file to get you to Google. Or use the Dillo port...

I think I've mentioned often enough what my Iliad gets up to... Dunno what you mean by "barely adequate" but I can read documents on mine perfectly "adequately"...

I might be repeating myself here, but I was fully aware of the state of the Iliad from early reviews, and my decision was based on that (I've been burned by vs 1 products before)... I'll be the first to admit the early firmware was a bit rough'n'ready, but the later versions (since zooming + panning) have made the iLiad worth it...
If the Iliad is really "barely adequate" then how come you don't put your device on Ebay and get a Sony Reader instead...?
And don't forget the Iliad is one the first of its type. I'm pretty sure there was some guy who bought a Model T Ford and was disappointed it didn't have power steering, air-con and an automatic gearbox...
