The boot-up time is relatively long (if you want to read the iLiad as a book). The power down is somewhat faster.

The two splash screens in boot-up and power-down they serve very little purpose. I would love to have the possibility to leave the last page read in display even with the iLiad off (since the monitor doesn’t draw power anyway) and also during power-up (possibly updating the last row with info about the boot-up process as is done actually).

In this way, I would take my iLiad out of my bag, start the booting-up and start reading from the last page immediately; most probably I would need to flip the page after the iLiad is completely up-and-running and you can achieve a “zero boot time” device.

Let us know.
