Don't make the mistake of putting it into the same "class" as machines like the Sony Reader or CyBook Gen3 - it isn't like those machines at all! |

That's very true, but both those machines have much smaller screens with lower resolution than the iLiad. As you know, it's the screen which is the majority of the cost of all these machines. The iLiad has over twice the screen "real estate" of the N800.

Isn't the iLiad to slow to really give you the feeling that you are using a general purpose computer? |

Approximately how many hours of usage can you get from a battery charge on your N800, as a matter of interest? |

And while I would really like to get somthing like it, I cant justify paying such a premium for a device with so many compromises. For about a £100-£200 more (£ 500-650) You can get a full service tablet (new) like the HP TX1314 or TX2025) On which I can run pretty much everything. So by paying a little bit more, I get a device that I can use for a lot of other things. So while The E-Ink would be nice, Personally I can't justify it.YMMV Also, Another point to keep in mind is that I like to use the Reader as a out an about device, somthing I can use when I have a few minutes free during the day, or when I'm on the Bus or Train or even the Tube when In London. Fo such use the smaller devices seem a better option. |
