I am also looking at the iLiad to replace "dead trees" for reading conference papers, say from ACM DL. In my case, I need to search quite frequently. I read from the manual (http://www.irextechnologies.com/files/User%20Manual%20v2.9.pdf section 8.2.2.18) that we can search among the books (I assume each book is a pdf), but how is the search result presented? Just a list of files, or with extracts showing the hits? Inside particular pdf, would it highlight all the hits on the same page? And is the search done at a bearable speed (perhaps you can tell us how much time it takes to search through a typical 10-page paper)? Thanks a lot!
