Check out this first-impressions look at the Iliad ebook reader by Sydney blogger and author Sherman Young who managed to spend a few minutes with one at a Dymocks store. The Iliad has been adopted by Dymocks as its ebook reader of choice and, according to the salesman, they’ve sold “a couple of hundred” so far.
And the reviewer’s conclusion? “Overall, it looks like a flexible, hackable device … But at $900 it doesn’t have the finesse appropriate to its pricepoint,” says Young.
