- iLiad is even more expensive, although "2 years more mature".
- iRex 800 has way better battery life.
- I tend to go for the new gadgets.
- iRex 800 does B&Ns PDB. For me that's great, so it does all the nook - formats.
- Firmware of iRex iLiad isn't supported anymore. You'll never see (DRMed) ePUB support for example.
- iRex 800 is extremely compact, although it's got the same screen size.
But you can't go wrong with either iRex unit, features are amongst the most advanced in the market.

wow, I'd like to thank you - you seem the resident expert on these devices - and ask for your opinion!
I lived happily with the Sony 505 - the best I used so far.
But I'd like to read PDFs - I've got a lot of them, and I have to read scientific papers in PDF too - so I was getting ready for a larger device.
What I need - if possible - if something not so huge that I cannot take easily with me, and without keyboard (Kindle dismissed!).
So, what would you do in my shoes? The Irex 800sg, the Irex 1000, or wait with some other soon-to-be-released?
thanks for any help!
