Kindle or the iLiad (the better alternative)

I haven’t had a chance to see Amazon’s Kindle, but I did see the iLiad by iRextechnologies here in the Netherlands. It is just awesome!

It’s like having the e-Ink screen, a WACOM tablet, almost all of the Kindle functionality (but with a larger better screen with more shades of grey) and WiFi — all in one gorgeous, easy to use package..

The downsides - you need to connect with a PC or a Mac to get content on it - it’s not linked up with Amazon - so you may have to get your content elsewhere

It doesn’t have a mobile network card, but you can buy such a card with a USB connection (almost anywhere) and stick it in the iLiad, and you’re ready to go… :-)
