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.

E-reader Sales Will Double Again This Year, CEA Says PC World
Just weeks after Amazon announced its Kindle e-reader was the most gifted item ever from its Web site, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) predicted the good times will continue in 2010 as e-reader sales double again.
Shipments of the popular devices are expected to continue their momentum after doubling last year, according to researchers from the CEA, and double again in 2012.
"Expect to see significant offerings in the e-reader category over the next few days," said Shawn DuBravac, director of research at the Consumer Electronics Association, speaking at a meeting in Las Vegas ahead of the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
A number of new companies are expected to announce e-readers during CES this week, and some have already jumped the gun.
Skiff and telecom giant Sprint said they will team up to provide newspapers, magazines and e-books over 3G networks for the Skiff Reader , an e-reader with an 11.5-inch flexible touchscreen created by Skiff and LG Display. Another company, Spring Design, said its Alex eReader, which uses Google's Android OS, will have access to over 1 million books online through a deal with Google. Other companies have announced new e-readers, too, including Interead's Coolreaders .
