I agree it is a great design (if you like the industrial look - I love it).
It's definitely not a fast device, but considering the specs (128MB RAM!), it's a race car :-)
If I remember correctly, it doesn't read epub, only mobi. I haven't used it for that, however with pdfs it out-performed some of my more modern readers - both in terms of speed and image quality. If you use Calibre anyway, I propose you give it a try - simply batch-convert your ebooks to pdfs and load them on the Iliad. I think you will be pleased with the results.
I also used my Iliad to take handwritten meeting notes at the office, and it was quite functional for that as well. I had years of notes with me at all times, which I could search if necessary (by key words in the titles). If I remember correctly, I used a template in png format.
