Hi from Melbourne

Hi all.

I have recently purchased an Iliad which I am absolutely loving. I started reading e-books on my palm reader a couple of years ago and then bought a Sony reader in January of this year. Although it is a great little device, it had two major problems for me. 1) reading PDF files on it was just too difficult given the size of text and this was one of the major reasons for purchasing the device. I wanted to be able to have work documents readily available to me when away form my office. 2) being in Australia, I am not able to purchase new release books for the Sony as the CONNECT store is only available to residents of USA.

The Iliad solves both of those issues nicely with a superior PDF viewer which allows me to resize text so that I can actually see it (old age is creeping up on me ). I am also able to purchase books easily through the mobipocket format.

I would love to see longer battery life and a better charging system, however over all it is a product that well meets my needs at the moment.
