a big plus for the Iliad, apparently the only device that does not need to convrt everything. i only hope a company like mobipocket makes a free multi-format and full-featured reader for this platform. iRex doe not want to make the viewers itself as it seems and is messing about with dedicated viewers for the different formats...not a good idea in my opinion. |

Here is a pdf file with user manual & warranty for Jinke V8 Readman http://www.jinke.com.cn/compagesql/u...es00000049.pdf It's written in realy awful english, but it's all we have now (( Until there is no real Sony & Irex - no real user manuals & warranties... More then 30 days left to the end of April (official Irex shipment), and more then 60 to Sony's shipment (end of spring) - many things can change up to that time. |

"Available in Spring 2006." - means till the end of of spring Sony probably will tell us, they begin sell it )) But the pop up picture of Connect store http://products.sel.sony.com/pa/prs/..._features.html gives us some hope, this device will be available before 19 may (see Da Vinci book announcement). So, the pessimistic, but real date, we can operate with - about 15th May. From today it means more then 50 days. ((( |

The only thing I know exactly - Sony wants and needs to be the first company in this market. With e-ink readers I mean. So, may be we'll see it in April, before Irex. )) |

There was a post in the Suggestions forum at Mobipocket asking if they would develop software for the Iliad. The reply was:
"Perhaps. It is still in discussion." At least that is something - we can hope! |

I think, it would be good to add an info about displays dimensions - (in mm), not only in pixels (800x600) and inches (6", 8.1")
For example (Jinke, Sony) - Primary Display (90mm by 120mm) 6-inch SVGA 800x600 4 grey scales, 166.7pp Irex - Primary Display (XXmm by XXXmm) 8.1-inch XGA 1024x768 16 grey scales, 158ppi |

The matrix lists the internal Sony Reader memory as 64 MB; however, the CONNECT software lists the internal memory available on my Reader as 91.9. To test this I loaded enough files to fill it and it did indeed hold about 90 MB of files.

I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the total memory was something like 128 Mb -- I wouldn't put too much weight on that, I don't know how reliable it is.
Whatever the 'total' memory is, they clearly put the OS/App set into it too, and we get whatever's left over. As noted, right now it's around 90Mb. I think the "64 Mb of User Accessible Memory" thing is more in the area of a statement that they don't plan to fill so much of the internal memory that they leave us less than that 64 Mb. I guess I said all that to say this: whatever the current usable memory is, I think it's likely to move around some with firmware updates. That's a lot of speculation in there, so salt to taste. |
