SlashGear recently performed a side-by-side comparison of two ebook reading devices — the Amazon Kindle and the iRex Iliad.

Their verdict? Go with the Amazon Kindle, “[b]ecause it’s cheaper and does what it says it will do. Granted, there’s great room for improvement here, but the extended battery life and seamless use with Amazon.com make it the logical choice for those looking for an easy way to read on the go.”

The reviewer did appreciate some features of the iRex Iliad, such as a stylus that enables the user to make notations on book pages. However, the reviewer concluded, “[i]f it lived up to its promises, the iRex model would be a clear winner and perhaps worth the extra cash, but it’s not there yet.”
