I just too used to grabbing my Sony Reader and get back into a book after 4 seconds, as opposed to 45 in the case of the Iliad.

I think the key is that you only had it for a short period Aleandre. You develop little tricks, like switching on the iLiad when you get into a food line or head for the rest room (yes, another place to get some quick catch-up reading done).
But there's no doubt that the Sony Reader is a dream compared to all that when it comes to just switching it on and having your page all ready to go. Even when the iLiad is done booting up, you still have to select the topmost item and open that before you can resume your reading session.
