Buy them used (or ebay). I just bought an iRex Iliad for $431. There is an ebay seller (rkgarinc) that has a large amount of new first generation iLiads to sell (around $535). You can also try the mobileread forums, which is where I found mine.
I love mine, even though I already have a Fujitsu T4215 tablet pc. The two devices serve different needs and usage profiles.
Hmm, I just realized I still mispronounce subtle. You make a very good point though, and actually casues me to realize that my own inability to pronounce many a word has a large basis in that most of my vocabulary has been learned through mass amounts of reading.

Loved that - and the ability to easily search through tabs, close them. etc.
Could be both. Check out Hack Fortress (at Defcon/Shmoocon every year)
Ironically, I find that it is easier for me to find the specific information I'm looking for in a book than by using my e-book reader. (Irex Iliad).
The current downside for an e-book reader is the extremely slow refresh rate, as it makes it impossible to just "flip" through a book.
That being said, I would not give up my Iliad for anything. I love it, and it was one of the best purchases Ive made.
