New Iliad Owner
I'm delighted to say that, in a couple of hours, I'll be the proud owner of a shiny new Iliad. I'm going to fetch one directly from the UK agents.
Looking forward to an exciting new world of Iliad ownership! |

So you finally decided to join the dark side?
I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as we all do. |

Yes - just got home. Haven't actually taken it out of the box yet. I was surprised how much larger than the Reader it is. Looks great!
What's the first thing I should do? Charge it for a few hours, and then see if it needs a firmware upgrade? |

You can use it while it's charging...I doubt it'll have any ill effects.
I'd reccomend "calibrating" the battery. Fully charge and drain it about 3 times, so that you can get the max usage out of the batter. First Step: Update Firmware. Second (At least for me): Request and Download Shell hack. Third: Install Enhanced iPDF and FBReader. Full screen is really necessary for PDF's not formatted for the iLiad. FBReader gives you access to just about any other format you'd want. |

I agree, shell hack and enhanced ipdf are almost a necessity

That might be a bit difficult.
But, we should be able to create a skin with an Empire theme. |
