FBReader reads CHM, which is often used for technical manuals. It handles nested TOC levels in CHM files, but they probably are a pain to use on the iLiad. In fact, the time required to switch between page view and TOC view might get frustrating for routine use on the iLiad. Overall, the iLiad is probably closest to what you are looking for. If only it was cheaper, with a longer battery life, and a bigger screen.

The Amazon Kindle (if it is ever released) may come with a keyboard, and if so I would expect it to have a search capability.
