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.

Internet search specialist Google Inc. of Menlo Park introduced its next-generation smart phone, the Nexus One, with an Android mobile operating system. HTC Corp. of Taoyuan, Taiwan, manufactures a previous Google smart phone that was based on Microsoft Corp. software and is expected to produce the new Google device, which debuted Jan. 5.
HTC develops and contracts to make phones using the Android mobile-device platform for marketing mostly under the private labels of handset manufacturers and mobile network operators.
