The iLiad is a portable device that lets you read and write as you do on paper everywhere you go.
Everything you like to read, like books, newspapers and
documents, you can now take along on a device as small and light as a
single book. Even in bright sunlight the display of the iLiad offers
you perfect readability.
With the iLiad can you also send, receive and share documents with family, friends or business colleagues.
More than just reading
Just as with normal paper, you're able to make notes and annotate
existing documents, but unlike paper your annotated documents and notes
can easily be transferred to a PC or another iLiad. Your friends and
colleagues can also add remarks or edit your notes and return them to
you. The iLiad is not just about serious stuff, you can also do Sukoku
and Crossword puzzles, read comics and sketch or draw on it.
