The negative in- assimilates to whatever follows it: ilegible, ilegal, ilógico before an l, and irregular, irreal, irresponsable before an r. Spanish does this without exceptions, so the spelling can be worked out rather than memorised.
English splits what Spanish mostly keeps together. Illegible means the letters cannot be made out; unreadable usually means they can, and the writing is simply unbearable. Spanish ilegible leans firmly towards the first — a doctor's note, a rained-on address. And keep it clear of inelegible, ineligible, which differs by two letters and belongs to an entirely different conversation.
