Kelly,

I’ve wondered about the refresh rate for e-Ink. The specs I have seen for e-Ink refresh rates is pretty good… if they are accurate. That implies the problems with refresh rates lie in the software or the result of an underpowered processor. I have not purchased an e-Ink reader yet and will probably wait for the next generation of devices. I would greatly miss the backlighting of my original Rocket e-Book which is still going strong. (the day my Rocket dies I lose a lot of DRM protected books. I’ve searched for years for a way to salvage this content without success}

Glad to hear you are enjoying your iLiad. I intrigued when it was announced. iRex has done a lot right with this reader. The variety of content it can read is a good thing and open to expansion. It still misses the sweet spot for me.
