From the website:

WHAT IS THE IREX ILIAD?
The iLiad is a portable device that allows you to read digital content any where at any time.

COMFORTABLE READING (FROM DIGITAL PRINT)

• The Electronic Paper Display technology reads just like paper and is perceived as such by the human eye.
• Easy navigation based upon reading behaviour.
• Scalable text. You can change the font size of your text to suit your own reading comfort.

READ… AND WRITE

• Touch screen with stylus.
• Use the iLiad as your notepad.
• Write and comment in articles (format and DRM dependant.)

MOBILITY AND CONVENIENCE

• The iLiad is a lightweight device for both indoor and outdoor use.
  Indoor reading:
• The device is designed for relaxed reading at home and productive reading in the office or workplace.
• Reading outdoors: You are now able to read digital text in full sunlight, just like paper.
• A mobile device: The lightweight iLiad is the size of an A5 document (folded letter sized document) (approximately), with a screen large enough to accommodate nearly all content, but small enough to take with you wherever you go.
• Very low power: You can read three hours a day for more than one week, from the iLiad without recharging the battery.
