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!
Right now, it's absolutely clear: iLiad or 1000S for complex PDFs. The zoom is brillant.
Others have mentioned the Onyx, which I don't owe.
Implementation of zoom into iRex 800 seems complex and far from being sure. I wouldn't rely on it.
Always buy these gadgets based on the features they already have. Never based on assumptions what they might have some day.
