THANKS, Tribble, that was really great info. Just one question: I don't have a card reader, and am questioning whether I need it. If I stick a SD/CF (I hope SD will be fine, don't want to buy another one) into the iLiad, can I load books onto it by connecting the iLiad to the PC?

@Ela...

The Iliad will (or so they say) work as a card reader sometime, at the moment it's cardreader for the cards and direct USB for the device itself.

You cant directly copy files from the pc to a memory card in the iLiad. As far as i know, iRex is already checking, weather this is possible or not, but so far you willl have to use some other way to transfer data to you memory cards (copying to flash and the moving from flash to memory card doesnt work either, as far as i know)

@Herve: Page turns seem quite a bit faster than with Henrycats Version. A PDF Text only is about 3 seconds now. With images on the page longer.

Will try to take some pictures later and post them here.

Thanks, pity about that card reader business (but why? If I can access the card on my digital camera... oh, well).

Oh, my husband says we need to train ourselves, and hit the "turn page" button just before we reach the end of the page (depending on our reading speed), that way, it'll turn exactly on time.

It is not the final version yet. And for the comparison with the camera, thats not quite as easy. The camera has no seperate memory built in. When connection to the iLiad, you need a way to access the internal flash and the memory cards. So that makes it a bit more tricky.

As to the pageturning. It is not as bad. As Henrycat mentioned before, it fades while you read. You dont even otice the long turns that much. Unfortunately, the pageturns are not always exactly the same time amount, so flipping early might go wrong

But it would be great if they get it to the mentioned second, even with larger images on a page.

@ everyone who wants more images: What would you like to see on them? As we have seen quite a few, and i dont want to repeat all of them.

Oh yes, after 7 hours of excessive use, the battery was quite low. Didnt try to see after what time it dies totally, but put it back on the line. I'll tell you how long till the battery is fully charged again. (Manual says about 2 hours)

ElaHuguet · 07-14-2006, 02:06 PM

Not really, my camera DOES have separate memory... but anyway, it doesn't work and that's it, maybe they'll fix it.

As to images, I know other people would like them, but I'm ok, I won't appreciate the true beauty of the iLiad's screen until it's in my grubby hands, lol, so... but thank you.

ElaHuguet · 07-14-2006, 02:07 PM

7 hours isn't bad, they seem to have fixed some of the power management issues at least, eh?

I put a javascript page before in this thread. Tribble, soulc you test it as if it were an html page? Actually it could be interesting to test also if the browser can navigate out to the internet.

Another very interesting thing to test is if it understand HTML forms, because the input type "file" usually lets one to browse the file structure (it is the typical button "upload..." to send files to websites).

The Profile menu has a test button, and when it cant make a connection to the iDs, it says something about changing static ip or turning on dhcp. So i think it is possible, but maybe not implemented yet.

Hmm it seems I opened a separate thread, then nobody noticed them:

The examples are got from a random website on javascript.

What about displaying a photograph, so we can evaluate the shades of grey?
