Still too slow and too expensive for me.

I purchased an Iliad Book Edition from iRex in August of 2008. Due to problems with the delivery company, DHL, I never received the product.
iRex promised me a refund, but has not done so. At this point, I have neither my money nor the Iliad. iRex is totally ignoring me and does not even reply to emails. My only recourse now is legal action.
If you are thinking about purchasing from iRex, you should know that this company no regard for customers after they have your money.
damn slow. I’d …
slow. I’d smash this thing in five minutes

It’s not an LCD! That’s the point! It’s eInk electronic paper. It can be read in sunlight at any angle – just like paper. The Display is half the reason for buying it.

Yea but it’ll go down pretty quickly. Its not that amazing really just an lcd screen with e books.
I bought an 128mb mp3 player a few years ago for £130 (probably $160/170)

Is that thing waiting for the ink to dry before it turns the page? Look at the video of the Amazon Kindle before you buy one of these things!

1 minute boot up, and that laggy page turn, this is not a best seller. I’d wait for the technology to catch up…

It’s possible, but it would be nice if the screen would be larger.

I want to read 8.5 x 11″ PDF Files. Is it possible ?

Cool review: who needs spoken words! Now, I was wondering how I could search for words in one or, even better, more text files: you showed only for a few seconds some kind of qwerty input mode, so I´m curious about the possibility of having a qwerty interface that might rival Kindle (and that seems to be one of the few features in wich Kindle stays unbeaten)

can it read djvu files?

it’s like it tooks 30min to boot, and do not seem very practical generally
Thanks for this. …
Thanks for this. I’ve ordered one and wanted to see how it worked in advance. Page refresh is rather slower than I would prefer but I gather that’s inherent in the technology as currently developed. How I’ve longed for these readers to arrive! It’s taken a long time.

As soon as I got the V2 iLiad… Actually I should already have it…

Do a new review! I want to see the 2nd edition in action. This review is two years old! It’s giving some people negative ideas about the product because they fail to see this…
Big problem with …
Big problem with all the ebook readers is that they suck wind on PDF files. Looks like the iLiad does it the best (biggest screen). Of course, along with that you get a bunch of extra bells and whistles that IMO are worth the extra price if you want them.
