Yes to have "unbricking" functionality would be important but IMHO what's even more important is a complete SDK and release of the kernel sources. With those I'm quite sure that not only me but a lot of other people would be willing to take the risk of bricking the device now and then.

With Sony, Iriver and others chasing the same market, the Iliad is already looking functionally poor and it has had a years advantage.
Functionally poor? As far as I can tell the iLiad have at least the functionality of the Sony reader (except wendor-locked DRM). Regarding other future readers, who can tell?
