Being an Iliad owner for a few weeks now, and reading technical manuals / IT books, i now know that it is the one and only smaller reader for me out there: the 8" is sufficient, but it's a tough fit.
I'd never want to read those manuals on 6"... 10" would be the sweetspot, but that's cumbersome to lug around.
I love the Iliad because :
- it allows me to do PDF zooming on the exact part of the screen i chose,
- it remembers the zoom level, even when reopening the document
- i added the fullscreen ipdf hack to make the toolbars disappear and use all the screen for the manuals.
If it weren't for those features, i'd have chosen the iRex 800... it's my opinion that tech manuals are readable on an iliad or bigger, 10" screens. (i didn't try the sony 900 though)
