I think I saw them both on Engadget's coverage of CES. I knew I had to have the iLiad the moment I saw the article.

I bounced around the idea of getting the sony, but after I visited the sonystyle store a few days after it came out, I knew it wasn't what I needed. I remember talking to a store employee. He asked me what I thought about it...
"It's pretty cool, but it's too small and isn't powerful enough for me"
"Well, if you're looking for something with e-ink, this is just about your only choice"
"I've got another device in mind, I'll probably get that"
