I added a page to the Wiki with pictures showing the iLiad disassembled.

Thanks to arivero, and to all others brave enough to take their iLiad apart

He seems to have a habit of opening device and running them on steam engines. ;-)

Actually I have not tested the steam nor the metanol engine as a power source for my portables. But there was some plan to do it... in the long run

Yeah - if society breaks down one day and there's no more 220V/6A coming out of the power plug you will still be able to read your thousands of ebooks stored on sd cards.

try to keep asking for power rechargue in the pubs while traveling not across africa, but across Europe itself. I am now in Brussels, heading for Rotterdam to look for a ferry at the Hoek.. as a plus, i avoid the airport regulations :-).

Ah, cheap train beds do not have 220 volts.

Wow...pretty daring...I take many things aart, but my 670€ is an exception...:-)

One thing that somehow confuses me...in Snoopy's pictures there is the mention of "batteries" and there are two batteries (or that's the way it looks) shown in his device...isn't that a bit weird???

According to Snoopy, the travel hub is empty. I don't even see a reason why the sockets are not integrated in the device itself. But it should be easy to design direct usb / power cables.
