Dymocks has partnered with iRex to sell the iLiad eBook reader in Australia. The iLiad is a unique e ink device in that it has a touch sensitive screen and wifi capabilities. The device supports secure mobipocket books, non encrypted PDF, HTML and TXT.
I discussed the Iliad briefly in our DA’s Guide to Dedicated EReaders. It’s a nice device but very pricey.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

I wonder if I put it on my Christmas list someone will buy it for me? I’ve been really, really good!
At that price though, I don’t think I have been good enough!
Wow! That is pricey. Wonder how many they’ll sell?
