I don't know about the "lies" and misinformation Irex promolgated when the Iliad was first released, but I do know that I purchased a V2 Iliad about 7 months ago and it hasn't left my side until I bricked it and had to send it back. Irex was quick to respond once I opened a "ticket", and I expect my Iliad to be back any day. I also own a Kindle 1. Sure the page turns are faster on the Kindle, but the text enlargement is not so hot, so reading on the treadmill is hard without glasses. I have never been disappointed with the selection of books available for the Iliad either. I think that the 3G network will be more widely useable if that is what the new device includes. And I have never been disappointed with the performance of the Iliad.

When the new proposed reader becomes available from Irex, COUNT ME IN!
