(some pages disable the 'view source' option in IE, but firefox will always allow to see the source, try CTRL+U).
There are lots of xhtml pages out there (most blogs, the wikipedia, and any other thing that 'smells like web 2.0' will be xhtml, for example). Mobileread is an xhtml site so it can be viewed with the iLiad, and since HenryCat tried a mobileread page, I think all the references to html you saw actually mean xhtml.
Hi, LittleTalker.
Actually, some of the pages Henrycat tried in his answer for my question weren't XHTML (and some weren't valid HTML either):(Pages were checked by the W3C Markup Validation Service.)

So maybe this could mean that the iLiad might have a decent HTML browser?
