Well.... I've had an iLiad as well, and my expctations weren't that high. iRex can't compete with anyone so far on this issue. I'm sorry, but I think I forgot that in your requirements list. The DR1000 and the Iliad can't be put to sleep, only turned off, and they use battery all the time when 'on'. If I brought my device anywhere travelling, I would bring a wall charger. I am curious to learn what the battery life of the DR800 is, but I don't have high expectations.
In any case, it works fine when I'm at home, and if I forget to charge it, I can still read while charging. If you are going to use your device mostly at home, I think you should put value in the larger screen - IMHO it's definitely nicer.
