The grumpy editor's e-book reader

I own an iLiad for a year now and like it very much. It reads pdf out-of-the-box and after installing FBReader it even reads epub. If you buy the version with wlan you can just transfer data via a cifs-share to and from the device. Problem with the iLiad is the price and since there is now a next generation device available from iRex they pretty much abandoned the old devices. After all they released the sourcecode for the devicesoftware, so I expect some great things for those who can wait. Nonetheless I got interested in the txtr reader which is about to be released soon.
