should be noted that the iliad ‘s been compared to Sony’s PRS-500.
Their newer PRS-505 might be a bit faster,and the screen is more white.

After less than 6 …
After less than 6 months, my Iliad began to fail. It will jump 15 to 20 pages at a time, no longer connect to my PC and the battery life is down to 5 hours from 15 hours.

iRex is stonewalling me about the repairs and ignores my repeated questions. Never buy anything from iRex.

yeah people have …
yeah people have lots of money to spend… This is WAY too expensive for what you get. If they want it to work, it should be sold under 100$, especially when people can buy decent laptops for under 700$ these days. Why spend 600$ on this???

If only to have the money for the Iliad… the Sony 505 is faster than the 500, and ultimately more affordable.

The 505 is faster than the 500, but either way you’re only turning the page every 30 seconds or so if you’re on large-text (every minute or two on medium/small): it doesn’t take much difference to turning the page, and I find it’s useful to “let you know” it’s a new page. It’s more distinctive.

I have the Sony, just because it’s cheaper and smaller – portable was the word of choice: it’s the same size as a large paperback/small hardback.
