I think you should wait and see how you like it. I happen to disagree with almost everyone on the board, as to the state of the iLiad. I received mine about a month ago, and short of a few "would be nice to have" features, I don't have a single complaint. The battery lasts an entire day for me at work (I turn it off when I go to lunch), and I can still use it at home. I have no problems reading almost any PDF thanks to zoom and continuous page mode. I didn't expect to be able to get on the internet very well, or have DRM/retail store support. The speed of the device is fast enough that it doesn't get in my way.
I love this device! If I had to do it all over again, I would do it in a heartbeat. I can finally go about my day without printing off useless papers, or carrying around a notepad. I guess it all comes down to what your expectations are coming in. Mine were certainly lower than what I got, so I was not disappointed.
