I really have to buy my first reader really soon. I'll go with either an iRex iLiad or an iRex 800. It will be exclusively used for complex PDFs.

- I guess the best would be to know if PDF zooming will one day exist on the 800, but for now I think we can't know for sure. Other than that, can you compare both readers? Why do you prefere the 800 to the iLiad?

- What is the difference between the original iLiad and the iLiad Book Edition? Is it only wifi? Because I don't need wifi at all. Other than that, are they exactly the same? Can I use all the "homebrew" applications in both of them?

Thanks a lot in advance, you're very kind to provide such help on mobileread.com!
Difference between the 2 iLiads really is just WiFi. I've got the WiFi version. But in my opinion, it's of no use (anymore).
There aren't any firmware updates anymore, which conveniently had been uploaded via WiFi.
And there's no bookstore or anything else. You can install a 3rd party browser or the downloader for daily comics. But that's of no real importance in my opinion.
Meaning: In my opinion you can save the money and go for the WiFi-less book edition.
