I was thinking of buying an iRex Iliad... but the eBook market seems to be very strong with the Kindle Format. Any recommendations?
I got the Kindle for my birthday and love it. You can put other texts on it besides the Kindle format. And music and can go on the internet.
At the O'Reilly TOC conference, a rep from iRex gave me this demonstration of the iLiad eBook reader.

Digital Reading Takes Over the Consumer Electronics Show Publishers Weekly
Of course there will be straight e-ink screen devices of all kind. IREX will show off its DRS800SG, the stylus-touchscreen with Wi-fi/3G wireless the Dutch manufacturer unveiled in September. Interead, manufacturer of the colorful Cool-ER series of e-readers, is said to be offering an upgraded wireless/3G enabled model to come that will have some form of touchscreen functionality and also offer newspaper content. IRiver is showing off its Story Reader, a kindle look-alike with 6” E-Ink Screen,2 GB internal memory, SD Card, and Wi-fi (eventually, apparently). Price has not been announced. Plastic Logic will also show off its much anticipated B&N endorsed device, now named Que. Other e-ink devices slated for CES include the eSlick Reader from Foxit and of course the Alex Reader , a hybrid dual screen device with e-ink screen above a smaller LCD screen with full web browsing capability, that just announced a content deal with Google to offer a million public domain titles
