What is the iLiad?
The iLiad is a portable device that lets you read and write as you do on paper everywhere you go. 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.

What can you do with the iLiad?

• Anything you can print from your PC can be read on the iLiad. You can also download books and other information from the internet. You can even receive digital subscriptions to international newspapers on an iLiad.

• The iLiad is not merely about reading… it is about writing too. Thanks to the integrated Wacom Penabled technology you can use the stylus to make notes, underline text and write comments in documents do your favorite crossword or Sudoku puzzles or even sketches and draw.

• The iLiad has a wireless connection to automatically download content and updates over the Internet. You can also connect the iLiad directly to any PC with a USB cable. The iLiad Companion software enables you to easily transfer and manage the documents between your PC and the iLiad.

• The iLiad can hold dozens of books and documents. Memory capacity can be increased simply by inserting a Compact Flash or MMC card, just as with digital camera. You can even insert your USB-stick into the iLiad to quickly read content.

What about the environment features?
The paper-like display of the iLiad produces a stable image, unlike a flickering PC screen. So the reading experience with the iLiad is much more comfortable, enabling you to go on for hours without tiring your eyes.

The display only consumes power when a page is turned so the power consumption is very low. And just think of the paper you can save. You no longer need to rely on printed editions of newspapers, books or your own printed documents and notes!

Why is this technology so unique?
The iLiad is unique because of many of it's technological features. The iRex electronic paper display is the largest available in the market today with its 8-inch diameter and features 16 levels of grey where the industry standard is 4 levels of grey.

In addition, the display is the only writable electronic paper display that is commercially available, enabling a whole range of new features like annotating, writing and an advanced user interface.

The iRex iLiad has a WACOM sensor board integrated into its design. This WACOM sensor board utilizes EMR® (Electro-Magnetic Resonance) Technology.
