I think CommanderRORs is trying to be quite objective for a subjective impression
I can totally understand his frustration with the iLiad. I can see, how the battery life is one of the most important factors of an ereader.
I like the design of the starereader. I would not want to miss the flipbar and the screensize of the iliad.
So it just depends on your needs and the size of your wallet
Thanks for the reviews CommanderROR
