I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit longer for my "week with the STAReBOOK in Review" article since I'm rather busy this weekend and my girlfriend has a birthday on Monday, so I'll probably only be able to give you that article on Tuesday evening.
Just a few tidbits for now:
I have not used my Iliad even once since I received my STAReBOOK (apart from the boot-speed and text-formatting comparisons).
I am almost finished with my second book on the STAReBOOK and just realized how much the on/off procedure the Iliad requires because of it's disastrous power management disrupted my reading habits and slowed my reading pace...more about that next week.
despite it's shortcomings in the text-formatting department and it's relative youth (the STAReBOOK has been on themarket since november if I remember correctly, the Iliad came out in June/July) I find the chinese ebook device a lot more suited for book-replacement than the Iliad. When it comes to educational or infopad solutions, then the Iliad is still your only choice, but for reading, especially reading fiction, there could be a new star rising, especially in those countries where the Sony Reader is not available...of course always depending on how staretek is goung to handle international sales...
